Abiodun’s Aide Mobbed At Ogun NANS Election
The Special Assistant to Dapo Abiodun on Students’ Matters, Azeez Adeyemi, was assaulted by a group of youths during the National Association of Nigerian Students Joint Campus Committee election in Abeokuta.
In videos circulating online, Adeyemi was seen being dragged and beaten by an unknown group of persons at the election venue, reportedly held at the NLC Secretariat in Abeokuta.
The incident reportedly occurred on Saturday when the governor’s aide arrived at the venue of the student body’s election. The purpose of his visit could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.
Eyewitness footage showed the moment the situation turned violent, with the aide surrounded, pushed to the ground, and physically attacked by some youths.
The cause of the altercation was not immediately clear.
Adeyemi, who serves as Special Assistant on Students’ Matters to Governor Abiodun, was said to have stormed the venue during the convention before the attack ensued.
When contacted for reaction on the violent incident in the state capital on Sunday, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed that an investigation had been launched after the video surfaced online.
“An investigation has commenced into the matter already,” Babaseyi said.
