Police say two men suspected of attacking members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress during a Peter Obi town hall meeting at Classique Event Place in Oregun, Lagos, are in the hospital.

The command spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi, told Peoples Gazette on Friday that the roles of both injured patients in the attack were under investigation.

Ms Adebisi said, “The command confirms that it received a distress call, reporting an attack on members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) during their town hall meeting at Classique Event Place, Oregun, Alausa.

“Two male persons, identified as Akinyemi Akeem and Ibrahim Babsule, sustained serious injuries and were rushed to the Emergency Centre, Toll Gate, for medical attention.
