“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.
