An explosive device was detonated in Ile Ife, Osun Stare.
The Osun state Government said the state had been peaceful until very recently when the opposition Peoples Democratic Party vowed to take over the state from the All Progressives Congress government led by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
A leader of the APC in Ife, who is also the Special Adviser to Governor Aregbesola on Youths and Special Needs, Comrade Biyi Odunlade, confirmed the explosion.
Odunlade said the explosions went off in an area usually populated by APC loyalists.
He said: “This is an APC strong old.
“I am sure the intention is to kill many of our people in this area.”
Just on Monday, several campaign billboards of Aregbesola were pulled down in Ilesa area of the state.
The governor has calmed the people of the state against being provoked.
A leader of the APC in the state, Prince Gboyega Famodun, said: “The PDP has suddenly become bold to unleash terror on our people since they came back from Ekiti.”
The device was said to have gone off at the back a house that is not far away from the family compound of the state Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Sikiru Ayedun.
