A female member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward 2, Asamu, Olaoluwa Local Government of the State of Osun, Taiwo Aremu, was reportedly assaulted by hoodlums who invaded the collation centre where the governorship primary election of the party held.
Aremu was reportedly assaulted when she led a protest against queuing on a single line for both Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and Alhaji Moshood Adeoti as directed by the returning officers.
OSUN DEFENDER gathered that the returning officers asked the APC members who wanted to vote for either of Oyetola and Adeoti to be on a single queue.
Adeoti’s supporters, led by Aremu, reported kicked against the directive, alleging that the returning officers wanted to rig for Oyetola.
When the protest was on, some hoodlums, who were allegedly led by one General stormed the collation centre and went straight for the woman.
According to Aremu who spoke with OSUN DEFENDER in a telephone interview, General wanted to strangle her before she was rescued by other members of the party.
Aremu said the thugs chased away all Adeoti supporters at the collation centre while the returning offices declared result for Oyetola.
