The bursary and scholarship award ceremony organised by the Ondo State Oil Development Area Development Commission (OSOPADEC), was disrupted by suspected political thugs on Wednesday, as the hoodlums attacked the agency’s commissioner, Kehinde Akinrotoye.
The hoodlums, who disrupted the bursary and scholarship award ceremony of the interventionist agency, beat up Akinrotoye, popularly known as Bonsue Aketi.
The incident caused pandemonium in the area as both staff and students, who came for the award ceremony, scampered for safety as a result of gunshots from the hoodlums.
It was gathered that the hoodlums came in hired vehicles and shot sporadically into the premises, thereby preventing the event from being held.
Akinrotoye’s vehicle and another vehicle, were also badly damaged by the hoodlums.
It took the intervention of men of the Ondo State Police Command to bring the situation under control.
The reason for the attack could not be ascertained as the police and state government are yet to react to the incident.
