The congresses, however, turned violent, leading to attacks on several persons. About 25 people have been reported injured.<\/p>\n

Properties, including houses and vehicles, have been vandalised in some of the local government areas.<\/p>\n

Some of the local government areas where attacks have been reported are Ibadan North, Ido, Ibarapa Central, Akinyele and Ogbomoso North.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent learnt that the residence of a former governor of the state, Barrister Hazim Gbolarumi, located at Bodija in Ibadan North local government area, has been attacked.<\/p>\n

It was learnt that properties worth millions of naira were destroyed in the building.<\/p>\n

Chairman of Wike-led PDP faction in Oyo, Professor Abdulrahman Akinoso, confirmed the attack on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Akinoso noted that thugs are moving around to unleash terror on the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere may be a need to upgrade the damages. More than 25 vehicles have been reported damaged. They are moving around the local governments, attacking individuals at home. Buildings were damaged,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Public Relations Officer of the Oyo State Police Command, Olayinka Ayanlade, when contacted, confirmed the incident to DAILY POST on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He said that the police are on top of the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an internal affair of a political party. It did not happen at the congress. It is outside the congress venues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe received a report of the attack on the residence of a former governor of the state. CP has ordered for the arrest of the hoodlums. We are on top of the matter,\u201d the police spokesman said.<\/p>\n
