Osogbo — June 9, 2026

OSOGBO — A terrifying wave of political violence has shattered the peace of Osun State after armed APC thugs launched a brutal attack, firing heavy gunshots in broad daylight across major areas of the state capital, including Owode, Aisu, and Oke-Fia.

Infinite Pulse News gathered that the armed attackers, strongly linked to the campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (popularly known as Ambo), opened fire indiscriminately, sending terrified residents and traders scrambling for cover.

The heavy gunfire threw the entire metropolitan area into absolute chaos, forcing commercial shops to lock down instantly and disrupting vehicular traffic. Eyewitnesses at the scenes confirm that several innocent citizens sustained severe injuries of varying degrees while fleeing from the flying bullets.

Democracy Under Siege

Osun State has historically maintained a reputation for a peaceful democratic culture. However, this direct, bloody assault by APC-linked elements—coming just two months before the crucial August 15, 2026, governorship election—highlights a dangerous level of political desperation designed to rule by fear and intimidation.

Infinite Pulse News strongly maintains that politics must never be reduced to terrorism, thuggery, and bloodshed. An election is meant to be a civilized contest of ideas and visions, not an open arena for shooting innocent citizens going about their lawful daily businesses. The protection of human lives must never be sacrificed for the political desperation of any candidate or party.

Cry for Justice & Security Intervention

Following this blatant breakdown of law and order, there is an immediate, heavy demand for Nigeria’s top security agencies to take decisive action.

Infinite Pulse News joins the call urging the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and other law enforcement authorities to swiftly arrest the perpetrators. A thorough, unbiased investigation must be launched immediately, and the political actors sponsoring these armed thugs must be held legally accountable.

As the August 15 election draws near, political actors must be forced to operate under the rule of law. Infinite Pulse News urges all Osun residents to remain calm, highly vigilant, and to cooperate fully with security forces. Any attempts to introduce violence into the electoral space must be fiercely resisted by the law to guarantee a free, fair, and safe election in Osun State.
