EKO HOT BLOG reports that no fewer than five people were injured on Thursday in an attack on the supporters of the African Democratic Party in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that the members of the party were returning from their campaign rally in the evening when some louts descended on them at the Maruwa end of the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
An eyewitness, who preferred anonymity, said some of them were injured while a few others were dispossessed of their valuables.
“The supporters were coming out of a street around the Maruwa bus stop when some boys emerged from nowhere and accosted them. This led to a confrontation and before we knew it, the boys started to attack them.
“Five people were injured and most of them were females. Some of the supporters also lost their phones in the process,” the eyewitness disclosed.
It was gathered that some of the hoodlums later fled the scene of the attack while the unlucky ones were overpowered and apprehended by the party supporters who took them to a nearby police station.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.
He said, “The incident was reported to the police around 6:30 pm. Three phones were stolen and one laptop damaged.”
