An eyewitness explained: “As you know, we are starting the registration of our members in few days’ time. So, the APC chairman in Akure North called a meeting and invited other leaders of the party to discuss the issue.

“The meeting had not even started when some thugs invaded the venue of the meeting. They started raining abuses and curses on the commissioner. They nearly killed him!.

“This is a sad development. We don’t know what could have caused it. What’s the big deal in membership registration? I am sorry for the party.”

The source accused Tayo Alasoadura, Minister of State for Niger-Delta Affairs, of masterminding the attack on Ogunleye.

He said: “Those who attacked the commissioner are known boys of Chief Alasoadura. We thought our brother has gone beyond that, considering his age and where God has put him.
