Jimoh Ibrahim's Akure Campaign Office Vandalized By Unknown Gunmen


As the November 26 Governorship poll in Ondo State closes in, the heat seems to be on as the campaign office of Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim (CFR) a factional gubernatorial candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),a newly renovated building which is located along the busy Oyemekun road, in Akure,was on Saturday night, invaded and vandalized by unknown gunmen in Akure, the state capital.

An eyewitness account attested that some unkown gunmen reportedly stormed the building at about 8:30 pm in a Toyota Bus branded with Eyitayo Jegede posters, went on rampage, destroyed and vandalised the newly installed PDP flags, the Nigeria National flag and the big billboard mounted on the top floor of the building.

Yemi Akintomide, the Director of Media and Publicity of PDP in the state, on Sunday described the act as barbaric, destructive and a very dangerous way of playing politics. While stating that the hoodlums also pulled down and vandalised the campaign billboard of Ibrahim mounted on top of the storey-building and 18 poles with PDP flags, representing each of the eighteen council areas of the state and a Nigeria National coloured flag, just installed on Saturday morning, at the frontage of the campaign office by a governorship aspirant of the party, Bamiduro Dada

He, however, said nobody was attacked as the perpetrators of the dastardly act came in the night after occupants of the office had left and the structure was under lock and key.
