Osogbo — June 9, 2026
OSOGBO — Fresh political tension has reached a boiling point in Osun State following the emergence of damning video evidence showing armed thugs, allegedly loyal to former Governor Gboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (Ambo), unleashing terror on innocent citizens.
The viral footage captures scenes of absolute pandemonium as the armed political actors opened fire sporadically in broad daylight across heavily populated areas of Osogbo, including Owode, Aisu, and Oke-Fia.
Infinite Pulse News has confirmed that the indiscriminate shooting left multiple residents running for their lives, with many feared to have sustained severe gunshot injuries. The heavy gunfire forced an immediate shutdown of commercial activities, plunging the state capital into fear just two months before the August 15, 2026, governorship election.
"Violence and Blood, Not Governance"
The brutal attack has drawn widespread condemnation from citizens and political analysts alike, who argue that the actions of the APC candidate represent an agenda of violence rather than public service.
For the people of Osun, a sacred line has been crossed. It is a fundamental truth across the state that no political ambition, power grab, or electoral victory is worth the blood of a single citizen. While the current administration under Governor Ademola Adeleke has focused on ensuring the state breathes through peaceful governance and infrastructure development, this latest assault shows a desperate attempt by the opposition to return the state to an era of fear.
Reviewing the state's political trajectory, critics point out that during his reign, Oyetola left the state vulnerable to economic exploitation. Now, the emergence of Oyebamiji’s armed loyalists signals an even darker path—threatening to hand the peaceful streets of Osun over to gunmen and active terrorism. For twelve years under previous APC leadership, the citizens faced continuous intimidation; today's violent outbreak is a grim reminder of that past.
The Countdown to August 15
The timing of this daylight ambush has made it clear that intimidation is being used as a political weapon to suppress voters ahead of the upcoming polls. However, the strategy appears to be backfiring, as public resentment against the attackers intensifies.
Infinite Pulse News emphasizes that the citizens of Osun State will not forget the terror inflicted upon them today. As security agencies are heavily urged to intervene, arrest the gunmen, and hold their political sponsors accountable, the electorate is already looking toward the ballot box. Come August 15th, the people's ultimate response to this bloodshed will be delivered overwhelmingly through a peaceful, democratic rejection of terror.
