Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State was thrown into pandemonium, Saturday when a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun State, Emmanuel Ajala, was seriously beaten and stripped naked by suspected political thugs.

Ajala, a former legislator in Abeokuta South Local Government of the state, was also reported to have been dragged down from the car, while his cloths were torn on him.

It was, however, gathered that he was saved from been killed when they sighted an oncoming vehicle and fled.

Narrating his ordeal, Ajala said, “They accused me of being too bold to comment on political issues, which they considered uncomplimentary and warned me to desist.

“It was an oncoming car they saw that made them to bolt away. I have equally reported the case to Obantoko police station.”

The Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the incident said the victim reported at the police station, but had failed to report back as scheduled for further investigation of the case, explaining that his failure to report back will affect investigation.
