Supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)on Thursday  disarmed a suspected thug for allegedly disrupting proceedings at their town hall meeting in the Oregun area of Lagos State.

Viral videos showed a suspected thug assaulted, wounded and his private parts  exposed but had a shirt on.

The event was said to have been peaceful until the hoodlums, armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, invaded the venue at 11:00 a.m., and attacked the participants who scampered for safety.

The NDC members, most of whom are supporters of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso, however prevented the thugs from entering the event hall by overpowering and disarming them.

An official in the office of the spokesperson for the Lagos State police command, Abimbola Adebisi, told the Peopels Gazette, that the command was yet aware of the incident or if any complaint had been lodged.

The official however promised to revert to The Gazette after watching the video sent to the command’s WhatsApp and obtaining more information about the incident.

The official stated, “Up till now, at the command level, we don’t have anything. But based on your call now, I’ll make enquiry and update you. I am going to talk to the DPO of that area to know if such situation happened. When I confirm it, then I’ll give you the details of whatever happened.”
