“We are appealing to the state Commissioner of Police to investigate and arrest the masterminds and foot soldiers behind these violent attacks, as democracy cannot thrive in a violent environment,” the statement read.
The party also alleged that one of its members, Abideen Oyetunde of Sekona in Ede South Local Government Area, narrowly escaped death after he was reportedly attacked at his residence on Sunday evening.
According to the APC, Oyetunde sustained severe head injuries and a gunshot wound after being allegedly assaulted by armed men.
