Gunshots at Osogbo ward congress appeal committee sitting

There was commotion at the Osun State secretariat of the All Progressives Congress on Saturday when gunshots were heard during the sitting of the Ward Congress Appeal Committee in Osogbo, the state capital.
The trouble started after members stormed the venue to submit petitions on Saturday morning.
Supporters of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and Minister for Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, clashed during the exercise, which reportedly left one member, Muyideen Ajetunmonbi, with head injury.
Around 4:15pm, gunshots ran out, forcing the heavily armed security operatives to rescue some members of the Appeal Committee from the building.
Some of the committee members were still held up in the office as of time of filing this report on Saturday.
Party members lunged at one another, leading to pandemonium.
