Apart from Odeyemi those attack were said to be Dr Akin Ogunbiyi’s loyalists.

Sources at the meeting said some members from the Ifelodun and Irepodun councils’ chapters of the party had mobilised to the venue for the meeting at the PDP secretariat located along Osogbo/Ikirun road.

One of the leaders of the party, who attended the meeting, but spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “The protesters were prevented from gaining access to the venue since the meeting was for a few leaders of the party.

“But the chairman left the hall and quickly attended to the protesters. Shortly after he returned to the meeting, some people outside that were not allowed in suddenly forced their way into the venue.

“A man inside the hall pointed to some people that were also in the venue and those that entered forcefully started attacking them. Those that carried out the attack were not thugs. They are known party members.”

Odeyemi said he was attacked by those that invaded the venue.

He said, “I was attacked. Some other people were also attacked at the venue of the meeting.”
