Political thugs attack NDC rally in Lagos, man apprehended over

A political rally organised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos was disrupted on Thursday after suspected political thugs allegedly attacked the venue, damaging vehicles.

The event, scheduled to hold at Classique Event Centre, Oregun, Lagos, was organised as a town hall meeting where NDC  presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was expected to address attendees.

However, as of the time of filing this report, Obi had yet to arrive at the venue.

During the incident, a man suspected of participating in the attack was apprehended and tied up after allegedly damaging vehicles parked around the event centre.

Security personnel were also deployed to the scene to restore order and prevent further escalation of the situation.

Their presence helped calm the tense atmosphere as attendees and other people around the venue watched developments.

The circumstances surrounding the attack and the identity of those behind it were not immediately clear as of the time of filing this report.

The incident comes amid recent security concerns surrounding NDC political activities, including an attack on Obi’s convoy in Calabar, Cross River State, earlier in November.
