Scores of people were injured in a stampede in Osogbo, Osun State, Monday, when the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Lasun Yusuf hit the streets throwing money.

Even the policemen mounting the Armoured Personnel Carrier vehicle stationed in front of the Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress at Ogo-Oluwa area abandoned their guns and rushed Lasun's money flying in the air.

The passersby and party faithful who thronged the APC secretariat to catch a glimpse of its 27 governorship aspirants struggled to grab from the N500 notes on the floor.

Some of the onlookers berated the Deputy Speaker for his display of affluence.
