Armed thugs on Thursday unleashed terror on journalists and residents of Leme, Abeokuta, Ogun State, when they invaded the state secretariat of the All Progressives Congress.
The suspected thugs had invaded the APC secretariat around 10.30am to stop a meeting of the members of the APC Harmonisation Committee scheduled to hold at the party secretariat.
The rampaging thugs snatched cameras belonging to the correspondents of the Galaxy Television and MITV, Kunle Ojo and Taofeek Lawal, respectively.
The suspected thugs, armed with various weapons, also snatched BlackBerry phones belonging to the correspondent of the Radio Nigeria/Paramount FM, Mrs. Modupe Sobukola.
They also manhandled other journalists, including the state Correspondent of the Tribune, Olayinka Olukoya, with the aid of soldiers and policemen deployed in the APC secretariat.
The security agents held the journalists, while the thugs harrassed them and snatched their cameras and phones.
Scores of residents of the area were also injured by the thugs who attacked them.
Several cars at a dealer’s shop near the APC state secretariat were vandalised by the thugs.
While addressing Journalists at the Iwe Irohin House, Senator Gbenga Kaka, who was flanked by Senators Akin Odunsi (Ogun West) and Gbenga Obadara (Ogun Central), as well as members of the House of Representatives from the state, announced the composition of the membership of the newly elected Interim State Executive of the party with himself as the secretary.
The senator representing Ogun East added that the governor was to nominate the chairman of the Interim State Executive.
Kaka expressed regret that some members of the party had usurped the functions of the yet-to-be inaugurated harmonisation committee by parading themselves as officers of the party.

He said, “This act of lawlessness has resulted into the confusion and commotions in many of the 236 wards in the state until yesterday, when the formal inauguration of the Harmonisation Committee was fixed for today (Thursday) by the South-West Zonal Vice-Chairman.
“Following the apparent attempt at manipulating our constitution and breaching the national guidelines, the inauguration was purportedly put-off for the illegality and impunity in the state to continue.”
The lawmaker condemned the brutalisation of journalists and other residents.

The difference between the APC and the PDP is like the one between six and half a dozen. But should ​we raise our hands in resignation because they are self-centered? No.
