Confirm News reports have it that the convoy of the Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran aka Jandor, was attacked in the Coker area of Aguda in the Surulere Local Government Area of the state.
Some suspected hoodlums were said to have shot guns and destroyed some of the campaign vehicles in Adediran’s convoy during the attack on Friday, and three persons were injured.
Jandor, together with some party members and supporters, had a grassroots engagement with traders and other groups in the Surulere LGA shortly before the attack.
However, the PDP and the ruling All Progressives Congress have traded blame concerning the attack.
A statement by the Lagos APC spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, sighted on Vanguard, read in part, “Our attention has been drawn to the terror unleashed on innocent and law abiding citizens of Lagos state by the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in the forthcoming national elections, Jide Adediran, otherwise known as Jandor in the course of his campaign in Surulere Local Government.
“The incident left in its wake several injured victims and three people reportedly died.
“We condemn in strong terms the unwarranted and unprovoked resort to violence on the citizens of the state in the name of electioneering campaign.
