Supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have taken to the streets of Lagos, chanting victory songs moments after they were attacked by suspected political thugs.
NEWSUNPLUG reports that suspected political thugs allegedly sponsored by a rival party attacked Obi’s supporters during a town hall meeting in the Oregun area of Lagos State on Wednesday.
The hoodlums, armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, reportedly invaded the venue, disrupted the meeting and forced participants to flee for safety.
However, moments after the attack, the supporters regrouped and took to the streets, chanting the names of Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Obi’s supporters have reportedly faced repeated attacks by suspected political thugs during rallies and other campaign activities across several states since the 2027 election campaign began.
A few days ago, the supporters were attacked in Asaba, the Delta State capital, where one person was reportedly killed and several others sustained injuries.
