According to claims making the rounds, Eniade was injured during the attack alongside several others.

An X user confirming the incident wrote on Wednesday: “Speaker Wale Egbedun just attacked Eniade. Dozens were injured, and several cars were destroyed. Where are the so-called neutrals to condemn this?”

However, the Osun State Police Command is yet to confirm the development as of the time of filing this report.

DAILY POST reports that Egbedun, who is backing the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke, had called for the arrest of Senator Francis Fadahunsi and Francis Eniade over alleged inciting remarks.

Fadahunsi on Wednesday appeared before the Osun State Police Command over the alleged “Kill Accord Party supporters” remarks.

DAILY POST reports that Adeleke will slug it out mainly with Bola Oyebamiji of the APC and Dr Francis Ajala of the Social Democratic Party, whose name was cleared on Wednesday.
