A supporter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has vowed that members of the party would resist further attacks by hoodlums following an attack on supporters in Lagos.
The supporter, who spoke after the incident, said they would not allow the attackers to intimidate them, insisting that they had the numerical strength to defend themselves.
“We’re going to repel the thugs. There’s strength in numbers. They came to attack us while we were waiting for Peter Obi. We were only setting up, and we won’t allow them,” the supporter said.
The hoodlums, who were reportedly armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, stormed the venue while the meeting was ongoing.
The attackers allegedly invaded the hall, disrupted proceedings and sent participants scampering for safety.
