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.
