Disrupted scene of APC Ward Congress Appeal Committee sitting
There was pandemonium at the Osun secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday when gunshots were heard during the sitting of the Ward Congress Appeal Committee in Osogbo.
Reports say there was tension after members stormed the venue to submit petitions on Saturday morning.
Supporters of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and Minister for Interior, Rauf Aregbesola clashed during the exercise, leaving one member Muyideen Ajetunmonbi with head injuries.
Around 4:15 pm, gunshots rang out, forcing the heavily armed security operatives to rescue some members of the Appeal Committee from the building.
It was gathered that some of the committee members were still held up in the office.
Party members lunged at one another, leading to pandemonium.
