The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that about 40 of its members have been killed in election-related violence ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, while condemning fresh attacks in Esa-Oke and Atakumasa East.
The party also condemned the alleged killing of Ayegbo Oladale, nephew of Oluwole Oke, Director-General of the APC Governorship Campaign Council, who was reportedly shot alongside Taiwo Oluwadele around Oke’s family compound in Esa-Oke.
Remi Omowaiye, Head, Media and Publicity of the APC Campaign Council, who disclosed this on Thursday, said Oladale died from the attack, while Oluwadele remained in critical condition.
