An Aide-de-Camp (ADC) attached to Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on Wednesday sustained a fractured leg after being forcefully pushed off an elevated stage by female security personnel during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Akure.
The incident occurred at the Akure Township Stadium as security operatives were making way for the arrival of the Presidential Campaign Council and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
The injured police officer was reportedly unable to stand or walk after the fall and was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention. His absence was later noticed while Governor Aiyedatiwa was addressing the crowd at the rally.
The incident reportedly caused tension as members of the governor’s security team attempted to confront the female security operative involved in the incident. However, the situation was brought under control following the intervention of the governor’s Chief Security Detail.
In a related incident, another security officer stationed at the VIP entrance of the stage allegedly struck the Ondo State APC Chairman, Kolawole Babatunde, while screening individuals seeking access to the stage.
The officer was reportedly unaware of the chairman’s identity and struck him while carrying out his security duties.
