Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command has launched an investigation into an attack on supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress at a town hall meeting for the party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in Oregun, Lagos. Additionally, the House of Representatives has established an ad hoc committee to investigate political violence, attacks on political gatherings, and disruptions of political activities across the country ahead of the 2027 general elections.",
