Hoodlums attack Ondo lawmaker’s official vehicle

Chris Ayebusiwa, member representing Okitipupa Constituency 1 in Ondo State House of Assembly, on Saturday alleged that his official vehicle was attacked by “weapon-wielding hoodlums” in Akure, the state capital.

Ayebusiwa in a statement signed by his Special Assistant, Media and Advocacy, Kehinde Akinyemi, said his official vehicle, a black GAC car, was damaged during the attack.

The lawmaker explained that the incident happened around 4. pm along Oba-Adesida road, Oja-Oba axis, Akure.

The statement titled “Attack on the official vehicle belonging to Honourable Chris Ayebusiwa by hoodlums” read:

“The official vehicle belonging to the honourable member of Ondo State House of Assembly who represents Okitipupa Constituency I, Hon Chris Ayebusiwa, has been attacked by weapon-wielding hoodlums.

“The incident which left the vehicle visibly damaged happened around 4. pm on Saturday, along Oba-Adesida road, Oja-Oba axis, Akure, Ondo State Capital.

“The black GAC official car of the legislator was assailed by the touts. Three of his staff aboard, including the driver and civil defence officer, were assaulted by the thugs who attacked with a pro-Aiyedatiwa branded Sienna bus and clad in Aiyedatiwa’s campaign face caps.

“The attack, which is believed to be politically motivated and aimed at the person of the renowned legislator, has since been reported officially to the appropriate law enforcement agencies in the state.”
