Suspected APC political thugs on Thursday attacked supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) during a town hall meeting in the Oregun area of Lagos state.
The hoodlums, who were armed with cutlasses and other dangerous weapons invaded the venue of the event, disrupted proceedings and sent members of the opposition party scampering for safety.
Recall that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the NDC, won Lagos, a stronghold of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with 582,354 votes in the 2023 presidential contest.
Obi was at the time, standard-bearer of the Labour Party (LP).
Before today’s face-off, the atmosphere at the venue was peaceful as supporters of Obi and Kwankwaso were seen dancing and singing in preparation for the commencement of the town hall.
Around 11am, however, the hoodlums stormed the venue and began making for the jugulars of NDC supporters.
The thugs had attempted to enter the main hall of the event but were seriously resisted by NDC supporters.
