SAN FRANCISCO, September 25, (THEWILL) – Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has condemned the gun attack that occurred during a ceremony at the palace of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji on Monday.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Communications and Strategy, Mr Yomi Layinka, the Governor directed security agencies to ensure that the masterminds are swiftly arrested, interrogated and brought to justice.
He vowed not to condone anyone or group of people desirous of bringing back the regime of violence and brigandage to the state as he reiterated his commitment to the security and protection of lives and properties of all citizens of Oyo State, which he said that his administration laboured hard to restore and maintain in the last six years.
THEWILL recalls that five unidentified gunmen opened fire at the palace of the Olubadan at Popoyemoja in Ibadan where the monarch was conducting an installation ceremony of four newly appointed Baales (village heads) in his palace.
The gunmen, who arrived the scene in a space bus, fired gunshots but no casualty was recorded in the incident.
