Four injured as Peter Obi condemns attack on supporters in Lagos

The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi has condemned attack on his supporters as he held his rally in Lagos on Saturday.

Four supporters of Obi were reportedly injured on Lagos Island during his campaign at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on Saturday.

Reacting to this Obi condemned the attack, saying it was unwarranted.

Obi said “I received reports that 4 members of the Obidient Family were attacked and injured in Lagos ahead of today’s rally. That incident, premeditated or not, is deeply troubling. Such act stands vehemently condemned.

“We cannot continue to tolerate attacks on members of the political opposition, often fuelled by the incendiary rhetorics of political leaders. The new Nigeria that we seek is one founded on peace and justice, and the respect for the rule of law.

“I call on the Lagos State security agencies to fish out those responsible for the attacks.”
