Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola on Saturday barely escaped from an attack on him and his aides when he joined a group of #EndSARS protesters in the state capital, Osogbo.

He walked along with hundreds of protesters from Oke fia to Olaiya.

Oyetola had earlier urged the protester to maintain their peaceful approach and remain calm. According to him, the Federal and State governments are committed to meeting their demands.

However, a Twitter user posted a video that showed thugs stoning the governor and his aides.

The attack has been confirmed by his Senior Special Assistant, Mabel Aderonke.
