The Osun State Government confirmed the incident, saying the attack occurred around the palace area while the governor and members of his entourage were moving through the city.

The Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, said security operatives attached to the governor’s convoy quickly responded and repelled the attackers.
