PANDEMONIUM, AS APC FLAGS OFF CAMPAIGN IN LAGOS; JOURNALISTS, ROAD TRANSPORT LEADER, OTHERS, INJURED. | Shakiru Seidu.

There were gunshots and pandemonium on Tuesday, as the All Progressives Congress, APC, flagged of campaign in Lagos for its governorship candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other party flag-bearers in the state. The campaign was held at the Sky Power Ground, Oba Akinjobi Road, Ikeja, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.

Transport leader, MC Oluomo was said to have been stabbed in the skirmish that occurred at the campaign ground. Everything was going on well when a gunshot was heard at the podium where Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as ‘K1 De Ultimate’ was performing and thrilling the audience.

MegaXpression gathered that there was a skirmish between supporters of MC Oluomo and other transport unions, as series of gunshots rent the air, causing pandemonium at the Sky Power Ground.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode was addressing the crowd when the first gunshot was heard, sending panic among the crowd. Ambode told the crowd that the police were in control of the situation, but things got worse as series of gunshots were heard.

The campaign was cut shot, as Sanwo-Olu could not address the crowd as he had wanted to. He only rushed the vote of thanks and dispersed the meeting.

Police officers were said to have engaged the hoodlums in gun battle as people ran helter skelter to for their lives. In the milieu that occurred, several people were stabbed and injured.

Some of the Pressmen covering the event were injured while MegaXpression Community Magazine jumped through the fence to avoid being caught in the bloody clash.

Officers of the Lagos State Ambulance Services, LASAMBUS, conveyed about eight stabbed people to the hospital. MC Oluomo was said to have been stabbed and rushed to the hospital.
