Ondo state Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs Adebunmi Osadahun, has been attacked over distribution of Federal government palliatives in Akoko Northwest local government area.
Osadahun was reportedly attacked by a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Olumide Awolumate for removing his name from the beneficiaries of the palliative in Arigidi.
As the Commissioner attempted to charge at Cuba, he used a chair to hit her head and attempted to raise a table before he was stopped
Sources said Awolumate, who is the APC Ward 1 Chairman, was saddened that his name was removed from the beneficiaries list of the palliative of the Federal Government.
Another source, who witnessed the fracas, said the Commissioner reported the assault to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) but was told he was not around.
The source said policemen on duty did nothing to prevent the fracas.
Ondo Government last week flagged off the distribution of palliatives to vulnerable households and Commissioners were asked to lead in the distribution in their respective local governments.
Nation Reports that Ondo Commissioner for Information, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, said 1,200 bags of rice would be distributed to 6,000 households in the council area.
