An Aide-de-Camp, ADC, attached to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State on Wednesday sustained a fractured leg after being forcefully shoved off an elevated stage by female security personnel during the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign rally at the Akure Township Stadium.
The incident, which occurred as security operatives were clearing the way for the arrival of the Presidential Campaign Council and Vice President Kashim Shettima, sparked commotion at the entrance of the elevated stage.
Following the incident, the injured police officer, who was unable to stand and walk, was swiftly taken to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention, with his absence noticed when the governor was addressing the crowd during the campaign.
The scene became tense after the governor’s security team attempted to charge towards the female security operative in retaliation.
However, the situation was brought under control through the swift intervention of the Chief Security Detail of the governor, who doused the mounting tension.
In a similar situation, another security personnel stationed at the VIP entrance of the stage allegedly struck the APC chairman in Ondo State, Kolawole Babatunde.
The officer, who was said to be unaware of the chairman’s status, hit him while attempting to screen individuals seeking access to the stage.
