Former
Secretary to Oyo state government, Barrister Sharrafaden, three
correspondents; Femi Atoyebi, Demola Babalola and Jeremiah Oke and
others on Monday escaped death as gunmen attacked the Olubadan palace, Popoyemoja, Ibadan, shortly before the installation of some Baales...
The gunmen who drove in two doors black Sienna, stormed the palace around 11.45am, shouted in Yoruba language “koni da fun iyalaya yin, eyin were e jade,” and all sorts.
The
journalists who were billed to cover the installation of four baales
rolled on themselves inside the gutter in front of the palace.
The
former SSG, who is also Asaaju Balogun, who was sitting in his black
Toyota Land cruiser jeep with registration number Lagos Epe 447 ER as
bullets riddled the back glass of his car.
The
journalists were all drenched in the stinking water and mud, while
Demola Babalola and Jeremiah Oke sustained minor injuries.
Meanwhile,
one of the attackers escaped being lynched by whiskers as he fell off
the car but guided himself shooting sporadically to ward off arrest
before his colleagues could pick him off while shooting down Gbodu
street down the palace.
