Former
Secretary to Oyo state government, Barrister Sharrafaden Alli, three
journalists Femi Atoyebi, Demola Babalola and Jeremiah Oke and others escaped
unhurt this
morning as suspected assassins opened fire at the palace of the
Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji, Aje Ogungunniso I, at Popoyemoja,
Ibadan, shortly before the installation of some Baales.
The gunmen
who drove in two doors black Sienna, stormed the palace around 11.45am, shouted
in Yoruba language “koni da fun iyalaya yin, eyin were e jade,” and all sorts.
The
journalists who were at the palace to cover the installation of four baales,
ran helter-skelter, falling into the gutter in front of the palace as the
gunmen fired shots into the air.
The former
SSG, who is also the Asaaju Balogun, who was sitting in his black Toyota Land
cruiser jeep with registration number Lagos Epe 447 ER as bullets riddled the
back glass of his car.
Meanwhile,
one of the attackers escaped being lynched by whiskers as he fell off the car
but guided himself shooting sporadically to ward off arrest before his
colleagues could pick him off while shooting down Gbodu street down the palace.
