The claim by the Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the penultimate Friday crisis that rocked Oke-Ado, Ibadan was the handiwork of the opposition party has been described as false and an attempt to cover up the real mastermind.

During the crisis, a police officer was shot dead by suspected political thug, an occurrence widely condemned by the APC and said it was orchestrated by the opposition to dent the Abiola Ajimobi administration.



Curiously, the denial of the claim came from a member of the APC and one of the governorship aspirants in the state, Adebayo Shittu, who revealed that the crisis ensued because some area boys recruited to honour Governor Ajimobi at the venue were short-changed.

In a chat with journalist in Ibadan, Shittu, who was among those cleared by the party to contest the primary election, explained that one of the chieftains of the party in government recruited the area boys on an agreed N300, 000 term but were later short-changed and offered N100, 000 instead.

According to him, “the information at my disposal without any form of sentiment is that the area boys who started the fracas had been recruited by somebody in government to honour the governor when he was to visit Oke-Ado in the Ibadan South West Local Government.

“They were said to have complained that they were short-changed because the agreement was that they would be paid N300, 000 but was changed to N100, 000 and that it was their reaction to the perceived short-change that led to the fracas.

“The anger, which the short-change generated, led to a fight with a commercial motorcyclist, which culminated in the face off between some policemen and the area boys and in a fit of anger, one of the area boys shot the police officer with a pump action gun and felled him during which two other policemen also received bullet wounds”, Shittu explained.

It was, however, gathered from another source that the particular area boy that aimed at the deceased police officer had earlier been fired at by the same late police officer but without any effect before the hoodlum felled the officer back in retaliation.
