Suspected thugs Sunday attacked the campaign train of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (JANDOR).
The incident happened in the evening as the team was returning from a visitation to members of the party at the Ikoga Junction area of Badagry Local Government Area of the state.
One journalist is reported to be in critical condition in an undisclosed hospital, while several others are being treated for various degrees of injuries sustained during the attack.
Jandor and his running-mate, Ms Funke Akindele were unhurt.
The PDP Publicity Secretary, Hakeem Amode in a statement called on the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State and the Area Commander of Police in the Badagry Division to ensure that those behind the incident are apprehended snd prosecuted.
He noted that the attack would not deter Dr Olajide from continuing his campaign in his determined effort to rescue Lagos State from mis-governance.
The PDP warned those behind the attack in the hope that it would disrupt the party’s campaign to be sure that PDP would not “fold our arms and watch as we will resist all forms of intimidation,” the statement added.
