BREAKING: Trouble As Thugs Attack Election Tribunal, Flog Opposition Party Member
The Ogun State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Isabo, Abeokuta on Monday began hearing of the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, against Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to DAILY POST, both the APC and the PDP mobilised their members to be at the tribunal for solidarity.
However, political thugs stormed the venue of the tribunal with canes, otherwise known as pankere, attacking percieved opponents while police officers and other security agents watched.
Although the road leading to the court was barricaded at both ends by the police, it did not prevent the hoodlums from attacking their targets.
As the political thugs roamed about with canes in their hands, the police made no attempt to arrest or stop them from causing trouble.
A policeman said, “there is nothing we can do. We can’t arrest them. Everything about Ogun is always different.”
A PDP member, who was attacked by the thugs, said he lost his phone, money, and other valuables in his possession while being beaten.
As at when filing this report, members of the PDP have fled the court premises to avoid further attack.
