The authorities of the Lagos State Police Command have denied report of killings at the bloody flag-off of the governorship campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State for 2019 general elections, yesterday.
Also the police declared a leader of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Mustapha Adekunle aka Seigo wanted for allegedly disrupting the occasion which held at Skypower Ground, Ikeja on Tuesday.
Reacting to the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Lagos State Police Command, Chike Oti, however, denied that anybody was killed at the venue of the rally.
He said 15 suspected hoodlums have been arrested and insisted that the campaign was “successful and it ended with a closing prayer.”
Oti, said MC Oluomo, who was stabbed during the clash, was in a stable condition in a hospital.
“The said Mustapha Adekunle, aka Seigo, an NURTW chieftain, came to the rally with a group of people and were identified at the entrance as supporters of the party.
“However, at the tail end of the event, Seigo and his group, for a reason yet to be determined, violently engaged other supporters of the party.
“In the ensuing melee, one MC Oluomo, another NURTW chieftain, was stabbed and was rushed to EKO Hospital where he is currently recuperating while two other victims of the attack were taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital for treatment.
“The crisis was quickly contained by policemen at the venue.”
Oti recalled that a few hours before the rally started, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Edgal Imohimi, held a meeting with the leaders of the NURTW, and other affiliate groups where all the parties agreed to eschew violence before, during and after the electioneering.
He said it was surprising that a prominent member of the NURTW attempted to “violently disrupt a peaceful political rally.”
“In view of the development, the command wishes to encourage members of the public with useful information on the whereabouts of Mustapha Adekunle, popularly known as Seigo, to report such at a nearest police station.
Confirming the number of injured, an officer of the Lagos State Ambulance Services (LASAMBUS), said eight persons were stabbed and were treated by officials of the agency.
“Many could have sustained injuries and left the scene, but those we attended to were about eight as we speak,” he said.
