The Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, on Wednesday narrated how he survived an alleged attempt to assassinate him in Ilesa.
“In the early hours of today 22nd February, an assassination attempt was made on my life. If not for divine Providence, the story would have been different. I want to salute the security men who stood their ground to prevent my assailants from carrying out their aim,” he said. “The recent happening in Osun is becoming worrisome and needs proper attention from every well-meaning citizen. The return of political thuggery after about 12 years of the All Progressives Congress Administration in the state now gives residents and citizens sleepless nights,” he said.
“I want to believe that such heinous crime if not quickly investigated and perpetrators docked could aggravate an already tense situation that will lead to the breakdown of law and order in the States before and during the forthcoming election,” he added.
