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.
