The spokesperson for the LP presidential campaign council, Dr Aliyu Tanko confirmed the development in a chat with Newsmen.
He said, “the ObiDent Movement is under attack in Lagos, they are stopping our people from coming to the TBS rally.
“Nothing can stop a movement whose time has come. Security operatives take note. We keep moving Obidently and Yusfully.”
When contacted by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the unfortunate incident.
“I don’t know if they are Labour Party of APC members but I can confirm that some people attacked others and the DPO in that area is already on the matter,” he said.
This happened just now, the 11th day of February, 2023 at Jakande, Lekki. APC thugs attacked this guy's and took there phones because they wore OBI DATTI clothes. Why are we like this?
