Peter Obi Supporter’s Hand Amputated After Lagos Rally Attack – DG | READ DETAILS
Mr Akin Osuntokun, the Director General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), on Tuesday revealed that one of the supporters of Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the party, has had his arm amputated after the February 11 attack at Lagos state rally.
Recall that some of Obi‘s supporters were attacked by thugs during the Lagos mega rally held at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) with 4 persons injured according to the police.
Speaking on Channels Television, Osuntokun stated that voter suppression through the use of violence has marred INEC’s level of preparedness for the general election.
“I won’t score the preparation a 100 percent. There are some factors that challenge that conclusion. One of that is the predisposition to voter suppression through violence: we have been a victim of that, especially in Lagos in which INEC people actually responded to people looking for their PVCs discriminatorily.
“When we had the rally in Lagos, our supporters were prevented in certain areas from coming to the Tafawa Balewa Square and some of them were injured. As we speak one of them has had his hand amputated” the DG said.
