LATEST UPDATE:
You’re behind Ibadan clashes, APC tells PDP, othersFrom OLUSEYE OJO, Ibadan
The violence rocking Ibadan, Oyo State capital, since the past seven days took another dimension yesterday as the All Progressives Congress (APC) pointed fingers at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Accord Party (AP) and Labour Party (LP) as the masterminds of the fracas.
Addressing a press conference on the fresh threat to the peace of the state, APC Chairman in the state, Chief Akin Oke, alleged that PDP sponsored thugs to breach the peace of Ibadan.
According to him, “The case of terror unleashed on the Oke- Ado community last Friday was the handiwork of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party that sent a group of thugs on its payroll, led by one Ekugbemi to cause a breach of public peace and thereby prevented Governor Abiola Ajimobi from visiting the area, which falls within Ibadan South West Local Government Council, on the last day of his state-wide tour.”
Oke alleged that some miscreants loyal to Ekugbemi started the crisis when one of them attacked a commercial motorcyclist. This, he said, led to the killing of a policeman, while several others were injured.
“We also gathered from a reliable source that the gang of political thugs, which was fingered in the Oke-Ado violence, engaged a rival group, led by one ‘Omo Alhaja’ in a battle of wits on Friday after escaping from the scene of the Oke-Ado incident and this was largely responsible for the supremacy tussle, which led to the wanton destruction of property as well as harassment of innocent residents of Born Photo, Idi Arere, Popo Yemoja and environs on Sunday.
“Another group of street urchins identified as loyalists of some chieftains of the PDP in the state stormed Idikan area of Ibadan in the early hours of Tuesday and began to forcefully open some warehouses, shops and residential buildings, where they looted goods, unspecified amount of money, among other items, before setting fire to some of these property,” he said.
Oke, who said APC would not give return ticket to any of its political office holder that had been performed below expectations alleged that opposition elements in PDP, AP and LP had organised themselves into a formidable team of alarmists dishing out details of the clashes before the attackers would commence their nefarious activities.
