In a video that went viral Demola was brutally stoned by voters and it was believed that he was dead, a motorcycle belonging to the thugs was burnt and this made people believe Demola was burnt after the Mob action.

In a new development, the Okota OPC leader, Demola, who was said to have survived the lynching of a mob, is currently recuperating at a hospital after being rescued by an Igbo family.

Demola was reported to have stormed a polling unit with his boys to dsiruot proceedings there when the mob descended on him. Initial reports had it that he was burnt to death. But pictures of him at a hospital have proven the reports to be false.
