National leader of the Accord Party and governorship candidate of the party in Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja, says thugs loyal to the All Progressives Congress are responsible for the death of two Accord members during a meeting of the party members in the Odinjo area of Ibadan on Sunday.
In his reaction, however, the Chairman of the APC in Oyo State, Akin Oke, said that it was unfortunate that the Accord Party hastily concluded that the APC was behind the attack.
During a meeting organised by Accord Party’s House of Representatives candidate, Gbenga Adewusi, in Ibadan on Sunday, thugs allegedly attacked the participants which resulted in the death of one Kehinde Bello and Sarafa Adedeji while 15 others sustained serious injuries.
In an interview with our correspondent in Ibadan on Tuesday, Ladoja lamented the attack on ‘defenceless people,’ calling on the police to interrogate those arrested in connection with the killing.
Ladoja said, “How can you just shoot at defenceless people who were holding a meeting? This is even happening in a state that prides itself as having stable security. Is it selective security? If your party members are shooting people and you are still talking about security, what will you do if your members are killed? The governor should wake up to his responsibilities. We are talking of young men who were cut down in their primes and they have families.
“We are not shifting blame on APC, we are talking of the reality. Those who were arrested were apprehended in the house of APC chairman. What other evidence do you need? In the past, that house would have been burnt. One of them said he was a mercenary hired to kill. He has been arrested and we will like the police to let him mention those who hired him. This will in no way have a setback on our campaign strategy.”
While reacting to the mayhem, the APC chairman said the party felt the pain each time security breach was recorded in the state, while quickly pointing out that organisers of the meeting ‘deliberately refused’ to get police permit for the event. He also alleged that Accord, Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party were planning to attack an APC rally soon.
