Panic broke out in Lagos on Thursday after suspected thugs attacked supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) during a town hall meeting in the Oregun area of the state.
The attackers, reportedly armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, stormed the venue while the meeting was ongoing, disrupting proceedings and forcing participants to flee for safety.
Participants Flee as Attackers Storm Venue
According to reports, the hoodlums invaded the hall and caused confusion as attendees ran in different directions to escape the attack.
Chairs and other items at the venue were also scattered during the incident as participants scrambled to leave the area.
The attack disrupted the town hall meeting and brought the gathering to an abrupt halt.
Police Response Yet to Be Confirmed
At the time of filing this report, it was unclear whether anyone sustained injuries or if the police had made any arrests in connection with the incident.
The attack is the latest in a series of reported violent incidents at gatherings linked to the NDC ahead of the 2027 general election.
