The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has condemned in strongest terms, the attack on supporters of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in Lagos State by supporters of the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
On his Twitter page, Sowore on Sunday attached a video showing the victims, noting that it is a crime to subject any Nigerian to cruelty and brutality over their political choices.
A Twitter user whose handle is @ObiFlagboy on Sunday wrote, “Attention everyone, this is what the chairman of Oshodi and his boys did to us today at Oshodi because they saw us carrying Peter Obi flag.
“We were almost burnt alive if not for an army officer. We are seriously having internal bleeding.”
Reacting to the incident, Sowore, though an opposition candidate to Obi in the 2023 presidential election race, called on the Nigeria Police Force to immediately investigate and prosecute the perpetrators of the heinous act.
He wrote, “These are @NgLabour supporters of @PeterObi attacked and brutalized by @OfficialAPCNg supporters in Lagos.
“It is criminal to subject any Nigerian citizen to this level of cruelty over their political choices. @PoliceNG must prosecute them accordingly.”
