A 60-year-old man was killed by suspected hoodlums in Osun State. The police have not directly linked the killing to the recently concluded election, but it reflects a pattern of thuggery and proliferation of arms seen during the electoral cycle.
The incident occurred during a visit by Governor Ademola Adeleke to the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo, where his convoy came under attack. According to the Police Public Relations Officer in Osun, Abiodun Ojelabi, preliminary investigation revealed that the attackers were targeting music star Davido, who was with the governor.
Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, is said to have been accompanied by the governor to the INEC office and later to the palace. The attackers, reportedly members of the Eye Confraternity, allegedly attempted to gain access to Davido but were resisted by his security team, leading to a confrontation and gunfire.
