On Thursday, at least five people were injured in an attack on African Democratic Party supporters in the Lagos State neighborhood of Lekki.

Prime9jaOnline gathered that party members were returning from a campaign rally in the evening when some thugs attacked them at the Maruwa end of the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

According to an eyewitness who preferred anonymity, some of them were injured, while others were robbed 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 sparked a fight, and before we knew it, the boys were attacking them.

"Five people were injured, the majority of whom 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.”

Recall Prime9jaOnline had reported that the Lagos police confirmed that no fewer than four persons were injured in an attack on supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

Describing the attack on Obi’s supporters as “regrettable” the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the attack happened about 15km away from the rally venue, adding that the State Criminal Investigations Department would take over investigations towards apprehending and prosecuting the attackers.

The attack happened in the Ilasan area of Eti-Osa Local Government and the Jakande Ward Chairman of the Labour Party raised the alarm.
