Ondo residents scamper for safety, as thugs invade APC secretariat

Some residents of Okitipupa in the Okitipupa Local Government Area (LGA) of Ondo State, on Thursday scampered for safety as unknown thugs invaded and disrupted activities at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Secretariat.

The thugs destroyed parts of the secretariat, setting party flags ablaze and tearing posters of candidates vying for chairmanship, councillorships and ward leaders’ positions pasted at the secretariat.

A witness who preferred anonymity said that the thugs, who came in large numbers, besieged the secretariat chanting solidarity songs and disrupted activities as residents in the area scampered for safety.

“Some of the thugs stormed the secretariat to disrupt activities and tear posters of candidates, just as many of the people scampered for safety,” he said.
