A political rally organized by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos was disrupted on Thursday when suspected political thugs attacked the venue, causing damage to several vehicles.
The event, which was scheduled to take place at the Classique Event Centre in Oregun, Lagos, was intended as a town hall meeting for NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi to address supporters. However, at the time this report was filed, Obi had not yet arrived at the venue.
During the disturbance, a man believed to be involved in the attack was apprehended and restrained after allegedly vandalizing vehicles parked near the event center. Security forces were quickly deployed to the scene to restore order and prevent further violence, helping to stabilize the tense situation as onlookers and attendees observed.
The motive behind the attack and the identities of those responsible remained unclear at the time of reporting. This incident follows recent security concerns related to NDC political activities, including an assault on Peter Obi’s convoy in Calabar, Cross River State, earlier in November.
