Thugs Disrupt NDC Town Hall, Attack Supporters In Lagos
Supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) were attacked on Thursday after suspected thugs invaded a town hall meeting venue in the Oregun area of Lagos State.
The hoodlums, reportedly armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, stormed the venue, disrupted proceedings and forced participants to flee for safety.
One of the suspected attackers was, however, apprehended by participants and beaten.
The incident occurred ahead of the scheduled appearance of the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who are expected to address Lagos residents at the town hall meeting.
The attack comes amid Obi’s ongoing nationwide town hall engagements as part of activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
On Tuesday, the former Anambra State governor visited Jos, Plateau State, where he and members of his entourage paid a courtesy visit to the Gbong Gwom Jos, His Royal Majesty, Da (Dr.) Jacob Gyang Buba.
Obi was also in Benue State on Wednesday, travelling from Makurdi, the state capital, to Gboko, where he paid a courtesy visit to the Tor Tiv.
