An unidentified person has been arrested in connection to the attack on Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, and some members of his cabinet.

They were reportedly attacked by suspected thugs in the early hours of Wednesday at the 2020 countdown event organised by the state government in Osogbo.

The event, held at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, ended abruptly about 1:00am, when some people started throwing stones towards the direction where dignitaries that included, the governor, his wife, Kafayat Oyetola, and Chief of Staff to the governor, Dr. Charles Akinola, sat.

Among other dignitaries at the event were Osun State chairman of APC, Gboyega Famoodun; Secretary to the State Government, Wole Oyebamiji; and Commissioner for Special Duties and Regional Integration, Lekan Badmus.
