According to a Punch Metro report, Mrs Titi, the wife of a former
Vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was on Friday evening attacked by
suspected political thugs at Sarkin Sasa house in Ojoo area of Ibadan,
Oyo State.
Mrs. Abubakar had arrived in the city two days ago to solicit support for her husband’s presidential bid.
An eyewitness told Punch Metro that she had had a fruitful
discussion with Sarkin Sasa and the Hausa community in the area when the
hoodlums attacked her convoy.
Some of the supporters in the convoy were said to have been injured in the attack.
A chieftain of the PDP in the state, Alhaji Bisi Olopoenia,
confirmed the development to Punch Metro but said the party was
investigating the attack on the harmless visitors.
He said there were insinuations that the attackers demanded money
from the visitors and after they were allegedly given, some of them
still went ahead to foment trouble.
Efforts to reach the State Police Public Relation Officer, Adekunle
Ajisebutu, were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report.
