There was tension at the palace of Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, Alake of Egbaland, on Saturday, when hoodlums stormed the venue of the ongoing state congress of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
A faction of the APC in the state used the event centre within the palace in Abeokuta, capital of the state, as venue of its congress.
Daily Trust had reported how the two factions in the state were preparing for parallel congresses.
The factions are led by Governor Dapo Abiodun and Senator Ibikunle Amosun, his predecessor.
However, shortly before the exercise commenced, gunmen broke into the venue, which was being used by the faction loyal to Amosun.
Hundreds of persons, including security operatives, scampered for safety amid the pandemonium.
