The state Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, who spoke with journalists in Ibadan on Monday, said sponsors of the invasion have landed themselves in serious trouble.

He said, “Sponsors of the invasion of the Governor and  State House of Assembly’s office have succeeded in landing themselves in serious trouble.

“Attempting to barge into the hallowed chambers of the legislature and take it over with an arsenal of seven pump action submachine guns and over 700 live cartridges, is an act of terrorism.

“‘The conduct of Prof Banji Akintoye, a well-known Yoruba nation agitator represents the quintessential wisdom and civilisation of the Yoruba race.

“Oyo state remains the most peaceful state in Nigeria and Saturday’s incident will not take away that popular belief.”
