Some residents of Okitipupa, the headquarters of Okitipupa local government area of Ondo state, allegedly assaulted the senator representing the Ondo south senatorial district, Yele Omogunwa, on Thursday, January 31.
Punch reports that the lawmaker was assaulted during a visit by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to the palace of the traditional ruler of Idepe town, Oba Michael Adetoye.
The senator was said to be in Osinbajo's entourage when the incident happened.
One of the youths, who craved anonymity, said, "He (senator) was beaten because he neglected us in the senatorial district; he carried out no constituency projects for the over three years we have elected him.
"He does not have any constituency office in this town, he was not accessible, we couldn't reach him for over three years; so what does he want here? Election is coming now, so he wants to cajole us again, that will not be possible."
