It was a bad day for a member of the House of Representatives representing Ifelodun/Boripe/Odo-Otin federal constituency of Osun State, Hon. Olusoji Adetunji, after his constituents descended on him during a visit to his home town.

According to a viral video posted on X by a user with the handle @Tenibegiloju202, the incident which happened in Ada community in Boripe local government area of Osun State, shows the lawmaker and his entourage being assaulted by the people who accused him of failing them after they had voted massively for him.
