Hoodlums Attack Anti-aregbesola Protesters In Osogbo by sanmitee(m): 3:02am On Jul 09, 2015
undecided A protest to call for the impeachment of Osun State
Governor Rauf Aregbesola yesterday did not end well as hoodlums, allegedly sent by the ruling party in the state, the All Progressives Congress (APC) attacked the protesters.

One of the anti-Aregbesola groups, the Centre for
Human Rights and Social Justice, CHRSJ in its
reaction strongly condemned the governor for allegedly
sending “thugs popularly known as ‘State Boys’ to
disrupt a peaceful protest against his government,
which was organized by no fewer than 20 human rights
and faith-based groups, under the aegis of Civil
Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State,
CSCEOS”.

The anti-Aregbesola protesters, in a march organised by a group Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun to rally support for the investigation of the
governor by the state House of Assembly into the
petition written by Justice Oloyede Folahanmi, shortly
after it took off at Ayetoro junction, were pelted with
sachet water by some suspected thugs. But the
protesters returned stronger, when they threw several
sachet water packs back at the attackers, forcing them
to retreat.
The thugs, however, staged another attack on the
protesters who were mostly members of Nigeria Union of Pensioners, beating some of them with horsewhips.
In its reaction, the PDP, through Prince Diran Odeyemi,
told Vanguard: “You all witnessed what happened in
Osogbo today. State sponsored hoodlums and APC
thugs attacked old men and women doing a peaceful
protest, beating them.

“Funny enough, the party is blaming PDP for the crime
its men committed. I advise them to devise new means of doing things because their old ways of committing
crime and blaming it on the other party is no longer
working,” he said.
Some pro-Aregbesola groups also staged a counter-
rally, which the APC claimed was aimed at celebrating
the federal government’s intervention in states unable to pay workers’ salaries.

The PPRO of the state police command, Mrs Folashade
Odoro, in her reaction, condemned the development. She said none of the two groups got police permission to stage any rally.

It's only a fool that will pity for Osun people anymore. They saw this coming and still they voted for this rascal.

APC are gradually proving to us that GEJ was never the cause of problem.
