The candidate of the Labour Party in Osun State, Engr. Lasun Yussuf, has cried out that his life is in danger ahead of the July 16 election in the state.
The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives alleged that his residence was attacked by men he believed were supporters of the incumbent Governor, Gboyega Oyetola.
Speaking on a radio programme in Osogbo on Monday, the LP candidate said all evidence pointed to those behind the attack which took place few hours after the governorship debate organised by Channels Television.
“My life is in danger and when life is in danger, no allegation is strong. I never attacked anybody, my belief is that I want to govern the Osun people and I should tell them what I have in mind. And I have told them in three debates. I was a member of the House of Representatives, I was a Deputy Speaker and people saw what I did.
“They came to my house. Part of the evidence is with the police. The attack started around 1 am and lasted for about 20 minutes..”
The police had earlier confirmed the attack on his residence.
