APC ward congress: One killed, four arrested during Ondo state - Police

Four suspected political hoodlums have been arrested over the killing of a middle-aged man, simply identified as Bosun. Bosun was a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akure, the Ondo state capital. Bosun was allegedly shot on the head by the hoodlum during today’s APC ward congress at Ajipowo ward two in Akure South.

Trouble started when two chairmen emerged for the ward and none of them was ready to step down for the other. It was learnt that the suspected hoodlums were sent by a faction of the APC who were against the party arrangement of the congress.

The faction was led by one Alaba Ogundele who is also a member of the APC.

Already the remains of the late Bosun have been removed and deposited in an undisclosed mortuary.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Wole Ogodo confirmed this, saying security operatives have taken over the situation.
