Akinwole later told our correspondent on the telephone that those who attacked him were sent by a former commissioner from Ife. He said he had been told that he would not be allowed to collect the certificate of return.
He said,
”I was attacked by some boys who said the former commissioner had said I should not be allowed to take the certificate. I was told he asked them to shoot me if I insisted on collecting it.“I was attacked while coming out of the INEC office and they tore my clothes. The policemen who were there tried to rescue me and I was ferried out of the place in the Speaker’s car.”
