In a statement issued by Mr Olajide Sadiq on behalf of the group and made available to CityMirrorNews in Osogbo on Friday, the group described the action of the attackers suspected to be political thugs as criminal and flagrant disrespect to the rule of law and complete infringement on the right of Bola Ilori.

According to the group, “We considered it as rude, criminal and flagrant disrespect to rule of law and complete infringement on the right of Mr Bola Ilori, the deliberate and planned attack on the state of Osun commissioner by the suspected contracted thugs of the Ondo State government who nearly murderd Bola Ilori during a forum designed to be platform to chart a better course for our party, APC and Nigeria at large facing apparent secession and devolution agitations from all parts of the country.
“Without any hestiation, Ilori attack at the International Cultural and Event Center was premeditated and state organised as the commissioner who never had any encounter with anyone was openly attack, mandled and almost stripped naked despite heavy presence of security details of the Ondo State Deputy Governor, Hon Agboola Ajayi and Secretary to the State Government Hon Ifedayo Abegunde.
“In the process of the attack, several members of Oranmiyan Group and other stakeholder’s from the State of Osun were severely molested and beaten. Despite several entreaties, the Deputy Governor and SSG watched with plesure while their security  details also ignored the brutal attack untill the hoodlums took over the venue and begin to attack known faces from Osun.
“Oranmiyan group considered the attacked supervised by top government officials as highest level of irresponsibility with public office, and impunity that capable of derailing the democratic development in Nigeria.
“We however call on the Inspector General of Police to specially investigate the police personnel deployed for the conference particularly the security details of the Ondo State Deputy Governor and the SSG who openly supervised and aided the attacks and attempt on the life of Bola Ilori. It is also important to arrest the perpetrators who openly displayed firearms and injured participants at the  conferences.
“The desxterity and braveness of the thugs pose a serious danger to the peace of Ondo, and if not timely checked, only God know who will leave to tell another story.”
