Gunshots rock Osun APC congress, two injured

At least two persons have sustained injuries from gunshots fired by some unidentified persons who invaded the venue of the state congress organised by a faction of the All Progressives Congress in Osogbo, Osun State.

In a report by Punch, the incident happened around 12.50pm after the congress organised by the Osun Progressives, a faction of the APC-backed by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, had commenced the process of electing new executives.

A car with about five occupants who were armed with guns was seen being driven along Osogbo/Gbongan Road towards the venue of the congress.

The vehicle was eventually prevented from advancing to venue of the congress held at Ladsol Bus Stop, Ogo Oluwa, Osogbo, by another group.

This was said to have led to an exchange of gunshots between the two groups.

After the incident, two people were found to have been injured.
