Osun Election: Two APC Members Reportedly Killed in Fresh Political Attack

Tension has reportedly heightened in Osun State ahead of the governorship election following an alleged attack in which two members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were killed.

The incident is said to have occurred amid growing political tensions in the state, with allegations of violence involving suspected political thugs.

The reported killings have raised fresh concerns about the safety of political supporters and voters ahead of the August 15 governorship election.

The APC has previously raised concerns over alleged attacks on its members in Osun, while rival political camps have traded accusations over political violence in the state.

The latest development comes as security concerns continue to dominate preparations for the election. Earlier incidents have included alleged attacks linked to political activities and an attack on an INEC Permanent Voter Card collection centre in Osun.

Details surrounding the latest incident, including the identities of the deceased and circumstances leading to their deaths, remain subject to confirmation.

The development is likely to intensify calls on security agencies and political parties to prevent further violence and ensure a peaceful conduct of the Osun governorship election.
