Gunfire erupts in Osogbo as suspected hoodlums attack Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke’s convoy shortly after he leaves the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo. Multiple outlets report that the incident involves attackers firing near or from within the palace area while Adeleke’s security team responds.
According to the reports, the attack comes after Adeleke’s visit and meeting with Oba Jimoh Oyetunji at Ataoja’s palace. Security personnel are said to repel the assailants, leading to an exchange of gunfire. One account specifically describes attackers shooting from inside the main gate while security operates from within the palace premises.
While the outlets agree on the basic timeline—Adeleke’s palace visit followed by an attack on his convoy and a gunfire response—there are differences in emphasis, including how precisely the shots are described and how the gunfire is localized within the palace grounds. All accounts, however, frame the event as an attack on the governor’s convoy that is met by his security team.
