EKO HOT BLOG reports that some supporters of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, were attacked in Surulere, Lagos State, on Wednesday.

According to eyewitnesses, the thugs disrupted the market campaign, and one supporter was stabbed during the fracas. A video circulating on social media showed the injured supporter receiving treatment from a medical team after sustaining a knife wound to his side.

The LP supporters expressed displeasure at how their members are being attacked in Lagos state while the All Progressive Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) can take their campaigns to other states without facing such humiliation.
