Ogun rep-elect accused of hitting street hawker with car, assaulting woman for intervening

A woman activist has accused the newly elected member of the House of Representatives for Ado-Odo/Ota Federal constituency in Ogun State, Tunji Akinosi, of physically attacking her for intervening after his vehicle knocked down a street hawker.

But Mr Akinosi has denied the allegation, saying the hawker eventually apologised to him for feigning injury after breaking the side mirror of his vehicle.

Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday, the woman activist, Abiodun Thomas, said the incident happened at Onikan in Lagos on Monday.
