The statement said the Amotekun boss sustained injuries with his car riddled with bullets.
Omoyele has since been admitted into an undisclosed hospital, according to the statement.
“I had left the office for home. When I got to Kobo, some armed men suddenly in a moving vehicle double side by side with my car and started firing. Their faces were covered, and before I could react, they opened fire on my vehicle. Bullets riddled the car. I didn’t stop. I kept driving on. I was hit, but I managed to escape,” the statement quoted Omoyele as saying.
