According to The Trent, no fewer than 10 people sustained various degrees of injury as thugs and police detail on the convoy of controversial businessman, Jimoh Ibrahim, opened fire on the campaign office of Eyitayo Jegede SAN along Ijapo Road in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
Jimoh Ibrahim and his over 30 vehicles convoy stopped at the campaign office, in the afternoon of Monday, November 21, 2016 shooting sporadically direct at the building, while occupants and passersby scampered for safety.
The shooting lasted for over 10 minutes, an eyewitness told The Trent.
Ibrahim is sponsored by the Ali Modu Sheriff faction of the PDP and he was not chosen in a primary election. But, a court order from controversial federal judge, Okon Abang named him as the candidate of the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission replaced his name with that of Eyitayo in the final list of candidates contesting in the guber poll.
The matter is before the Appeal Court and Supreme Court.
