Mrs Idiat Babalola, the Senior Special Adviser to Gov. Rauf Aregbesola on Diaspora has been attacked by angry youths in Ede, Osun State.
She came for the burial of Sen. Isiaka Adeleke, who died on Sunday, and was mobbed by the youths who prevented state government officials from attending the burial, alleging that the senator was poisoned.
