The Ogun State Government, on Monday, denied reports that a governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party {PDP}, Mr. Segun Sowunmi was attacked at the premises of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, sitting at Isabo, Abeokuta, the state capital.
The state government, in a statement by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information, Mr. Waheed Adesina said the the allegation that political thugs attacked the PDP chieftain was false, adding that nothing could be farther from the truth.
He further stated that no such attack happened at the premises of the tribunal, which he said is been protected by a retinue of security personnel.
According to him, some members of the public, who had attempted to gain entrance into the tribunal to observe its proceedings were prevented from doing so as the tribunal members ordered that the gate of the Magistrate Court be shut immediately sitting commenced.
He further stated that a large number of APC and PDP supporters, including other neutral observers who had arrived the venue late were affected, adding that Mr. Sowunmi later came and mounted pressure on the security agents at the gate to allow him access after identifying himself as a stakeholder.
He said the attempt to open the gate for him annoyed the crowd outside, resulting in a mild protest and resistance to the move as the people felt he should not enjoy any preferential treatment.
