. The thinking by political observers was that blood would flow and the entire ancient city of Osogbo would be embroiled in a deep political crisis.
Despite the relative peace that pervaded the congress held at the WOCDIF Centre, Ring Road, in the ancient city of Osogbo, there were reported skirmishes occasioned by some people believed to be sponsored political thugs by a faction. On Sunday night, the entire neighbourhood of the congress venue was shattered by incessant gunshots said to have been initiated by some hoodlums allegedly sponsored by political interest.
Suspected political thugs, who were believed to have been hired for the purpose of the congress, were seen in the streets of Osogbo. They appeared in common printed fabric allegedly purchased by one of the contenders and moving in droves ostensibly to declare their presence to the consternation of the opponents.
