The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Lagos
State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, was yesterday attacked by some suspected
political thugs in Mushin during his tour of local councils. He escaped
unhurt.
It was gathered that one of Agbaje's supporters was shot and was
rushed to a hospital after losing so much blood. The rally was said to
have been held at Olomowewe Square in Mushin as part of efforts to
sensitise PDP members of his aspiration to govern Lagos using the
party’s platform.
The Chairman of PDP in the council, Tunde Fabiyi, who confirmed the
incident, said the bullet that hit Agbaje’s supporter was from the
rifle of one of the policemen attached to the politician who wanted to
scare the thugs away from his boss.
“Yes, it was true a PDP supporter was shot, but it is not as it is
being painted by the social media. What really happened was that Agbaje
was mobbed by some young boys after the rally, and in a bid to disperse
the crowd, a shot was fired, which incidentally hit one of those who
came with Agbaje,” he said.
