Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB) and others<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that were hit by bullets fired by a trigger happy policeman at the APC<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">secretariat on Friday.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The governor, who also directed the suspension of all open campaign<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">activities of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">three days, demanded that those found culpable in the invasion of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">State with illegal policemen that were involved in the shootings must<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">be brought to book.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by his Special Assistant on<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">said even though he was glad that Hon.
