Gunmen ‘invade’ Yusuf Lasun’s residence — hours after Osun guber debate
Yusuf Lasun, former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, says gunmen invaded his residence in Osun state on Monday.
In a tweet on Monday, the former legislator said the armed men shot randomly at his residence.
Lasun, who is the governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), 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.
In another tweet about five hours later, Lasun said: “And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you to imprison you, or to kill you, or to expel you (from your home, Makkah); they were plotting and Allah too was plotting, and Allah is the best of plotters. Quran 8 verse 30.”
When newsmen contacted Opalola Yemisi, police spokesperson in Osun, to inquire about the attack, she said officers have been dispatched to investigate the matter.
“The report got to me this morning. The divisional police officer (DPO) in that area has gone there to confirm to ascertain what really happened,” she said.
The development comes hours after Lasun participated in the governorship debate on Channels TV.
