Thugs Disrupt Pro, Anti-aregbesola Rallies In Osogbo by lakesidepapa(m): 10:05am On Jul 08, 2015
Two separate rallies for and against the Rauf
Aregbesola administration were on Tuesday
disrupted by hoodlums in Osogbo, the Osun
State capital, resulting in many sustaining
varying degrees of injuries.
A coalition of civil societies organization had
staged a peaceful rally to call for the
impeachment of the governor for allegedly
mismanaging the state’s resources which
brought untold hardship to the people of Osun
State.
The coalition, under the aegis of Civil
Societies Coalition for Emancipation of Osun
State, CSCEO, were marching at the Igbonna
Market along the Obafemi Awolowo Way
when the hoodlums came attacking with
dangerous weapons such as machetes, guns,
knives and charms.
There were sporadic shots in the air and many
of the protesters scampered for safety.
In the process, many of the protesters,
especially pensioners, suffered injuries from
the attack.
However, there was a curious twist in the rally
episode, when the same set of hoodlums also
attacked a pro-Aregbesola rally also in the
state capital.
From Aiyetoro area of the state capital to Old
Garage Area, Olaiya and Okefia Roundabout,
the pro-Aregbesola campaigners carried
different placards with different inscriptions
such as “Don’t stigmatise Aregbesola over
unpaid salaries”, “Osun is not the only state
owing workers”, “Omisore, PDP funding
violence against Aregbesola’s government”,
“Salary issue is a national challenge” and
many others.
It was gathered that the hoodlums, thinking
that the rally was a regroup of the earlier
disrupted rally, descended on the protesters,
who also ran for safety.
