The police say they are investigating a case of assault on the Ondo State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Adebunmi Osadahun, recorded on Saturday in Iye-Akoko, Akoko North West LGA area of the state

A viral video clip shows Mrs Osadahun being molested by a male adult said to be Olumide Awolumate, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the area.

The incident reportedly occurred during the distribution of palliative items provided by the state government for residents over the removal of fuel subsidy.

The commissioner got into trouble with Mr Awolumate while overseeing the distribution of the items.

The police say a preliminary investigation revealed that Mr Awolumate attacked the commissioner during a meeting with party members.

The state government has also described the incident as a criminal offence.

“Investigation into the incident has begun, and the full weight of the law will be applied to the assailant if found guilty.”

She further said that the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) law prohibits all forms of violence against persons and provides maximum protection and effective remedies for victims and punishments to offenders.

“There are better ways to seek remediation or express concerns where necessary,” she said.

“In the distribution of palliatives, we will continue to do our best possible to reach the most vulnerable in our communities and we ask for your understanding and support.
