There was confusion on Saturday in Ibadan as hoodlums disrupted the congress organised by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State.
It was learnt that a gang of thugs unleashed violence and damaged several vehicles at the Jogor Center venue of the congress.
Oyo PDP had been enmeshed in a crisis in the last few months, which had resulted in protests against Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
The rift had split the party into two factions. One group is loyal to the governor while another set of supporters belong to the camp of Mulikat Akande-Adeola, a former House of Representatives member.
It was learnt that while the Makinde-led faction held its congress at the Adamasingba Stadium, Ibadan, the other group opted for a parallel convention at Jogor Center, where the hoodlums attacked.
The hoodlums reportedly stormed the venue through the back gate, shooting into the air and attacking people at the venue.
The number of casualties was not determined at the time of filing this report.
