Alli condemned the reported incidents, describing them as unacceptable, and called for action to prevent political violence in the state.
He said Governor Seyi Makinde, as the state’s chief security officer, had a responsibility to protect residents regardless of their political affiliations.
The campaign organisation urged security agencies to investigate the alleged attacks, identify those responsible and ensure they were brought to justice.
It also called for appropriate measures to deter further violence and protect political actors and residents across Oyo State.
The allegations come amid political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections. No response from the state government or confirmation from security agencies was included in the report.
