Lasun Yussuff, candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the Osun 2022 governorship election, says gunmen invaded his residence in Osun state hours after the governorship debate.
The former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, through his Twitter handle on Monday, said the armed men shot randomly at his residence.
The former legislator had spoken vehemently against violence in politics and elections during the debate organised by Channels TV and other stakeholders in the state.
He also said State Police is necessary for the country to curtail insecurity.
“There is little any state government can do. Amotekun cannot arrest. In the long run, we have to amend the constitution for state police,” he said.
“I am going to develop a robust community development association. They will work with Amotekun in collating and passing intelligence information.
“The fundamental problem of insecurity is our constitution. The most potent part of security is intelligence gathering. Our country has porous borders. People just enter the country anyhow.”
However, Mr Yussuff did not say if any person was shot or whether properties were destroyed in the shooting.
“Just in: gun men in uniforms are presently in my residence shooting sporadically,” he wrote.
