Political Thugs allegedly sponsored by Ondo State Governor, Lucky Ayedatiwa on Tuesday, February 17 attacked the State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC Ade Adetimehin and some party stakeholders.
Sources disclosed that the thugs stormed the Party Secretariat where a stakeholders meeting was been held disrupting the meeting and forcing party leaders and members to flee for safety.
Videos and Pictures circulating online show the Party Chairman on the floor while the thugs were beating him up. Also severely beaten was Sola Ajisafe, an Akure- based legal practitioner known for his critical commentaries on the Aiyedatiwa’s administration.
Adetimehin had yesterday called a stakeholders meeting of the party, comprising 20 leaders per Loca Government. The purpose of the meeting was to allow these leaders interact with members of the Congress Committee who came from Abuja to conduct the APC Ward Congresses in the 203 wards in Ondo State.
The meeting was scheduled to be held at the State Secretariat Tuesday February 17, 2026. Soon after the leaders arrived, thugs believed to members of the NURTW swooped on the venue and unleashed mayhem, leading scores injured while others scattered in different directions.
Speaking to journalists after his rescue, Adetimehin condemned the attack, he said;
