TENSION has enveloped WOCDIF Centre, Osogbo, Osun State, venue of the ongoing South-West Zonal Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party, as some thugs stormed the area and started shooting sporadically.
Delegates who had cast their ballots and were waiting outside the hall scampered for safety on hearing the gunshots.
However, security operatives quickly engaged the heavily armed hoodlums outside the premises of the Congress.
Led by the State Commissioner of Police, CP Olawale Olokode, security operatives chased the hoodlums when they attempted breaking into the congress premises.
Some security agents repelled the attack by firing gunshots and tear gas. This development caused commotion and panic in and around the venue as at 6:45pm on Monday.
In a video obtained by our correspondent, a union leader in Ibadan Oyo State, Lamidi Mukaila, popularly known as “Auxiliary” led some thugs to the venue and started threatening to kill former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose.
Auxiliary was watched in the video laying curses on Fayose and threatening to attack him should they sight him.
“Fayose, you are doomed. We brought your casket here,” Auxiliary said.
It was gathered that the shootings rented the air immediately Fayose left the venue of the Congress.
Meanwhile, voting has ended and sorting and counting of ballots are ongoing.
