Similarly, Olumide Oworu claimed he and his team members were attacked on Tuesday, March 14, as they attempted to campaign in Iponri, Surulere area of Lagos State.
The actor who is contesting against his senior colleague and All Progressives Congress (APC)’s candidate, Desmond Elliot, said though one of his team members was attacked, he is thankful that the incident did not escalate past the level it was.
“I am not deterred by the incident. Instead, I am more committed to seeing this through. We will pass through the wards in constituency 1 (Akinhanmi/Cole, Adeniran/Ogunsanya, Iponri Housing Estate/Eric Moore, Igbaja/Stadium, Shitta/Ogunlana Drive, Yaba/Ojuelegba). See you outside!”
