The Osun State Government has condemned the attack on the Oranmiyan House of the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
WuzupNigeria reported that the immediate past governor’s campaign office was attacked and vandalised by suspected thugs who shot sporadically in an attempt to raze the building on Thursday.
However, the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode, the government dissociated itself from any involvement in the attack.
Egbemode disclosed that the Commissioner of Police had been charged to fish out the perpetrators of the attack and bring them before the law.
“The accusation that the government of Mr Adegboyega Oyetola had anything to do with Thursday’s attack on the Oranmiyan House is sad and laughable.
“It defies reasoning that a man who has invested so much in the peace of Osun in the last three years will descend that low.
“This government is united, it has all its ducks in a row. The Party is also united and its status and activities have been ratified by the national secretariat. There are no reasons to join issues with anyone, let alone engaging in the violent act.
“Those who are grabbing at straws to stay afloat, especially because their rebels’ den has fallen like a pack of cards, should try to fix their fortunes instead of blaming everybody, but themselves, for what has happened to them,” the statement partly reads.
