The vehicle somersaulted and this did not stop them from seizing the people onboard,” said Ticha.
Fayose stressed that Makinde looks quiet but was very deadly.
He was reacting to a video where the Oyo State Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Alhaji Lamidi Mukaila aka Auxiliary threatened to kill him.
The incident happened during the just concluded zonal Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.
