By Boye Oyeyemi

Supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State have reportedly thwarted a suspected attack on the party’s deputy governorship candidate, Deji Ogunsakin, after armed thugs stormed his residence in Ado-Ekiti.

According to reports, the incident occurred on Wednesday at Ogunsakin’s home in the Federal Housing Estate, where he had invited party members for a scheduled meeting.

Eyewitnesses indicated that the suspected assailants arrived at the venue in a bus and on motorcycles with the apparent intention of disrupting the gathering.

However, the PDP supporters swiftly confronted the intruders and successfully resisted their attempt to disperse the attendees.

Consequently, one of the suspected attackers was apprehended by the party members during the ensuing commotion.

Furthermore, the detained suspect reportedly sustained injuries during the altercation, although the exact circumstances surrounding those injuries remain unclear.

Meanwhile, authorities have yet to establish the precise motive behind the alleged assault or the identities of the other perpetrators involved.

There is no immediate confirmation as to whether the police have been formally notified or have commenced an official investigation into the matter.
