During the attack, Buses belonging to former Skimeh as the former Atiba Council chairman is fondly called and that of the senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC were vandalized.
At a popular fuel station at Alakia junction, just as they were arriving Ibadan from Ife where they had gone for a family function, the notorious thugs, on sighting some of the buses with APC inscriptions, Auxiliary boys, who were at the spot at the time with their principal, jumped on the road, chasing the buses in the process, OYOINSIGHT.com revealed.
