A chieftain of pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere has apologised for unknowingly obstructing the convoy of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo earlier today in Ikoyi, Lagos state, police sources have said.

The National Organising Secretary of Afenifere, Abagun Kole Omololu, was earlier held by Lagos Police for breaching the convoy of the Vice President.

Mr Omololu explained to the police that he had no sinister intentions and did not plan to harm the Vice President or his convoy.

He added that it was dark and he did not know that the convoy was long so he decided to drive on.

According to the police, he breached the convoy of the Vice President without knowing he had done so. He was then stopped and informed that he had driven into a moving convoy.

In what the police sources termed a security breach, the Afenifere chieftain drove his vehicle and obstructed the movement of the convoy.

"This is a security matter. He didn't know it was the Vice President's convoy before he drove his vehicle into the convoy.

"This was seen as a security breach and action needed to be taken immediately," the police sources said.

Another police source said he was never arrested, he was only held for questioning.

"We needed to be sure he didn't have a motive for his action. This is standard police protocol and he was not harassed either.

The police source explained that he was released afterwards and allowed to go.

An eyewitness at the scene, Olasunkanmi Oladele explained that other commuters were also warning the owner of the car.

In a tweet, he said was also behind the convoy in Ikoyi.

"I was following from a distance the convoy of the Vice President in Lagos when a man broke into the convoy. We should respect authority and stop trying to make people look bad," he said.

The police said the matter has since been resolved and that the Vice President was unaware of what happened.

.........but what came over him before, medicine after dealth, nonsense

Now he's talking.

Nice one! So what sort of news was i reading on Punch before?

I hope punch will see this and rewrite their story with and apology letter

He was lucky not to have been shot

Crazy folks both the anifere and punch are all mad

Punch the next time una write rubbish again, I will swear for una

The man show have being smoked with just one small bullet. Rubbish!

Who even knows him... why addressing such a person has Afenifere Leader. Half baked reporters please be guided �

Hey thank God you wake up from his slumber and I hope punch you see this

I now hope punch will use their brain next time

You just have to because you know what you did is. Very wrong and disrespectful .

You just have to because you know what you did was Very wrong and disrespectful .

Even his excuse makes no sense. Simple wait and go after the last car has passed, you say you did not know the convoy was long.

Nigerians are difficult humans sha, you're obstructing the envoy of the Vice President, total lack of respect. Now, Punch, a widely read shitpaper have edited the story to mislead people. Ah!!! Nigerian journalism.

Imagine if he was an ordinary guy DSS would have arrested him not police.

Arrogant is killing him.

Only God will safe us from the hand of those unbaked journalist with there confused stories

Punch crap paper tried to sell a different story.

I could remember when Jonathan came to ikeja in 2014, and overzealous okada rider with another passenger came from no where to go ahead of his convoy after signalled road block. If you see the speed at which DSS vehicles pursued them until they crashed into a near by gutter, with a corked rifles, that day I know you don't just buss in to a convoy belonging to presidency. They were lucky because the vehicle that chased them were part of a leading vehicles. If to say na back it happened, police would have arrested them. I believe this man just wanted to use the opportunity to avoid traffics. It happens alot

A man ..

Why fantasizing with Afenifere

now he wont try such later

.

So why did punch gave me that nonsense headline to read initially?what is punch turning into for God sake

He was very lucky to have got away with it. For me I wasnt so lucky. Just last month 15th December, 2019. My front tire was shot by an overzealous police man who was part of a convoy carrying the speaker of house of Assembly. What was my crime?. He said I refused to leave the road early enough for them to pass. Imagine the rascality.
Me I quickly apologize oo, even though I wasn't at fault before them go tag me assassin or armed robber or whatever.
My care tire is just #55,000. I better spend that sum to buy a tire than face police slap and embarrassment
God help us .
