Barely two hours after his supporters were attacked by suspected political thugs, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, arrived in Lagos State.
The former governor of Anambra State is in Lagos for a town hall meeting as part of activities ahead of the 2027 general election.
Before his arrival, supporters and members of the opposition party were attacked by suspected political thugs at the venue of the meeting in the Oregun area of the state.
The hoodlums, armed with cutlasses, cudgels, sticks and stones, were seen in a viral video invading the venue and disrupting the gathering.
However, shortly after the attack, the supporters regrouped and took to the streets, chanting the names of Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The incident reportedly left one person hospitalised.
Obi's convoy arrived at the venue amid cheers from a large crowd of supporters, less than two hours after the attack.
