VIDEO: APC Thugs Attack Lagos Labour Party HOA Candidate, Olumide Oworu

APC Thugs have attacked Lagos Labour Party HOA candidate, Olumide Oworu.

Glamtush reports that the thugs invaded the rally of the Labour Party HOA candidate in Lagos, Olumide Oworu, in the Eric Moore area of the state, damaged properties and injured some people.

 

This online newspaper understands that one of the supporters of the Labour Party candidate in the state, @Maaziakuchie, who made this known in a tweet on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, called for an ambulance.

“One of our guys has been stabbed by thugs activated to attack @OlumideOworu. Just happened in Eric Moore. We need an ambulance ASAP,” he tweeted.

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.

“My team and I were attacked on Tuesday as we attempted to campaign at Iponri, Surulere. A member of my team was injured, but we are thankful the incident didn’t escalate past the level it was. The case has been reported at the Iponri police station.

“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!”
