Tension in Osun as hoodlums attack motor parks

Less than a day after the inauguration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as Osun state Governor, hoodlums armed with guns and other dangerous weapons have attacked motor parks in Osogbo, creating tension.

According to reports, the hoodlums launched attacks on four motor parks in Oke-Baale, Old-Garage, Ilesa Garage and Aregbe Garage simultaneously.

The hoodlums claimed the union leaders were loyal to the All Progressives Congress(APC) and must give way to loyalists of the new administration.

However, ten members and executives of the National Union of Road Transport Workers(NURTW) sustained injuries while two policemen sustained bullet injuries when the parks were attacked on Sunday.

Also, the attacks continued on Monday with sporadic gun fires at the parks as the hoodlums attempted to take control of the union’s secretariat.

According to Governor Adeleke, spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, he directed union leaders to maintain peace across parks, warning against violence.
