One of the suspected thugs who attacked supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, during a town hall meeting in Lagos State has reportedly been apprehended.
The suspect was among hoodlums who invaded the venue of the meeting in the Oregun area of Lagos on Thursday, attacking participants and disrupting proceedings.
The attackers were reportedly armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, forcing attendees to flee for safety.
A video circulating on social media showed one of the suspected attackers being apprehended following the incident.
The attack occurred during a town hall meeting involving supporters of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who recently joined the NDC.
The incident has sparked concerns over political violence and the safety of opposition supporters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
