Hon Lasun Yusuf, Labour Party gubernatorial candidate for the July 16th Osun governorship election, escaped being killed in the early hours of Monday.
Gunmen reportedly launched an attack on his residence in his hometown in Ilobu of Irepodun Local Government Area of Osun state.
It was said that the gunmen stormed his residence around 2.00 a.m of the day but were vehemently resisted by his security guards who engaged them in a fierce battle.
When contacted, his media aide, Mr Oyewole Oladimeji confirmed the incident.
Meanwhile, Lasun, on a radio programme in Osogbo on Monday, openly alleged that the attack on his house was organised by the Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, who was intent on eliminating him from the gubernatorial race.
But the press secretary to Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State, Ismail Omipidan, has said that Lasun Yusuf, the gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party in the Osun gubernatorial election, is no threat to his principal’s second term ambition.
