A one-time Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Chief Iyiola Oladokun is one of those presently displaced from their homes as a result of Tuesday’s suspected bomb explosion that rocked a section of Ibadan, the capital city of the state.
PMParrot gathered that Barrister Oladokun, a close associate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and a respected member of the ruling All Progressives Congress and family are presently being accommodated by a relative.
A source close to the Ado-Awaye-born politician hinted that Oladokun’s storey building located not too far from Dejo Oyelese Street was badly affected.
Even though we could not ascertain the level of damage, PMParrot was informed that associates insisted that Oladokun, late former Governor Lam Adesina‘s deputy, must vacate the building because “nobody is sure if the foundation of the building will still be okay after being jolted by the unexpected explosion.”
Another source informed that the home of former Attorney General of the Federation, Late Chief Bola Ige was also affected.
An independent source informed that he observed that most of the windows of the building have been shattered.
Bola Ige’s house is located about 600 meters away from The Oladokuns’.
Other popular residents of the state living around Wole Oyelese street whose properties were reportedly affected by the explosion included Oba Kola Adegbola, Comrade Kunle Famoriyo of Afenifere Renewal fame, Actress Bimbo Osin, interim Oyo NAWOJ chairperson, Bola Okanlawon and others.
The state government and the state’s police command have since reacted and victims are being evacuated.
It is expected that clearer picture of what actually transpired will emerge on Wednesday morning after the dusts would have settled.
