Accord urges police to probe attack on NDC supporters in Lagos

The Accord Party has called on the Lagos State government and the police command to investigate a violent attack on supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). According to Daily Post Nigeria, the incident occurred on Thursday during an NDC town hall meeting at Classic Event Place in Oregun, Ikeja.

Dele Oladeji, the Lagos State Chairman of the Accord Party, described the attack as a dangerous development that could undermine the state's security infrastructure. In an interview with NAN, Oladeji stated that political violence is taking on a more dangerous dimension ahead of the 2027 general elections, noting that thugs are now targeting opposition parties at their event venues.

He also cited instances where opposition groups, such as the African Democratic Congress (ADC), were allegedly denied access to venues for political activities.
