Before anyone could say Jack Robinson, they started hauling stones, while some went in search of big sticks with which they were smashing vehicles indiscriminately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe urchins went directly after the SUV of Chief Tegbe, which showed a clearly premeditated motive, while others kept attacking other vehicles coming behind the governor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also added that the bus conveying the media aides of the governor, journalists and some other vehicles were damaged by the hoodlums.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt some points, the hoodlums graduated from hurling stones by bringing out guns and shooting at vehicles in the convoy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are sure that the same hoodlums went into the streets of Igangan to commit the wanton arson and destruction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we sympathise with the families of individuals affected by the crisis, it is important to point out that Governor Makinde is a man of peace. And has made it clear that his ambition is not worth the blood of any Oyo state indigene.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hoodlums attacked and shot at some of those in Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde\u2019s convoy, during his campaign to Igangan in the Ibarapa Local Government Area of the state.
