“Nothing can stop a movement whose time has come. Security operatives take note. We keep moving Obidently and Yusfully.”
When contacted, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the unfortunate incident.
“I don’t know if they are Labour Party or APC members but I can confirm that some people attacked others and the DPO in that area is already on the matter,” he said.
