OSUN DEFENDER reports that Olabode recently, on a radio programme in Osogbo, revealed how he led the squads that attacked Aregbesola at the festival.

He sought forgiveness from the former two-term governor of Osun State.

Meeting with Aregbesola today at the Oranmiyan house, Osogbo, Olaboye, who was crying profusely, begged Aregbesola for his forgiveness.

Responding, Aregbesola said he couldn’t even recognise the faces of any of those attackers, let alone having it in mind to retaliate the attacks.

He said he believes Allah is the most forgiving, whom every human being should be begging for forgiveness.
