Ogun governor's aide mobbed at NANS election venue

A disturbing video has emerged showing Azeez Adeyemi, the Special Assistant to Ogun Governor Dapo Abiodun on Students’ Matters, being violently attacked by a mob of youths during the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Joint Campus Committee election in Abeokuta. The footage, which has circulated widely online, depicts Adeyemi being surrounded, pushed to the ground, and physically assaulted by an unknown group of individuals at the election venue.

While the exact cause of the altercation remains unclear, reports suggest the incident occurred on Saturday when the governor's aide arrived at the convention. Eyewitness accounts and the circulating videos paint a grim picture of the breakdown of order during what should have been a democratic process for student leadership.

The Ogun State Police Command, through its spokesperson Oluseyi Babaseyi, has confirmed that an investigation is underway following the surfacing of the video. This incident raises serious concerns about the safety of public officials and the potential for violence during student political activities in the state. The Punch will continue to follow this developing story and provide updates as the investigation progresses.
