A restive crowd of sympathisers at the Ede, Osun State country home of late Senator Isiaka Adeleke, was bent on lynching, a former Special Adviser to Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, Ms Idia Babalola.


Sympathisers became angry when Babalola came in for the Islamic prayers ahead of the internment of Adeleke’s internment.  Angry sympathisers demanded that Babalola be made to leave the premises, according to a statement by Amosun's media aide, Adejuwon Soyinka.

When pleas from dignitaries at the event, including Ondo State Governor, Mr.Rotimi Akeredolu, failed to persuade the angry crowd, Governor Amosun had to join some other dignitaries in personally shielding the lady and leading her out of the premises.
