Gov Amosun saves female politician from mob attack in Osun

The timely intervention of the Ogun State Governor,
Senator Ibikunle Amosun, saved a former special adviser to Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Ms. Idia Babalola, from being attacked by a mob at the Ede country home of late Senator Isiaka Adeleke.

Governor Amosun was attending the final prayers in honour of Adeleke, who died on Sunday, when the incident occurred.
The crowd of sympathisers became restive, when Babalola came in to attend the Islamic prayers, ahead of the interment of the two-time senator and first elected governor of the state.
They demanded that Babalola should leave the premises, ignoring pleas from dignitaries, including Ondo State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu.
When it was apparent that the mob was bent on attacking Babalola, Amosun physically intervened and prevented them from carrying out the act.
The governor later led the physically shaken woman out of the venue of the prayer session.
Amosun later joined others at the final prayers, before the interment of the late politician.
