A member of
Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Bamidele Ojo has been shut by unknown gunmen
in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital.
The
lawmaker, who represents Ibadan South East II State Constituency from Peoples
Democratic Party(PDP) was attacked by gang of armed robbers on Sunday morning
near Egbeda area of Ibadan city.
The first
term lawmaker not only sustained severe gunshot injuries but his Toyota Avensis
car was snatched along valuable items by gunmen.
Our man
reliably gathered that, Hon Bamidele presently hospitalized at the intensive
care unit of the University College Hospital (UCH, Ibadan.
Sources from
the hospital revealed that, the lawmaker has been slated for second surgery on
Wednesday) adding that appreciable number of bullets were extracted from his
body during the first surgery.
Recent
withdrawal of men of the Nigeria Police from the government joint security
patrol team which includes Army, Police and Civil Defence called
"Operation Burst" has contributed immensely to security slack in the
last few weeks across the state.
However,
remedial visit of Governor Abioal Ajimobi to the state police command on Monday
evening yielded a fruitful result as the Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mbu
assured 'new operation burst' in the state.
