Gunmen injured at least two persons during an attack on the convoy of Segun Gbayi, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the House of Representatives, Lagos Mainland Constituency.
The attack happened on Thursday in the Makoko area, Yaba, Lagos State.
It was gathered that the gunmen also attacked the security escorts attached to the convoy, opened fire, and vandalised their vehicles.
Gbayi, who narrowly escaped the attack unhurt, said the attack was to prevent members and supporters of the party from exercising their franchise in tomorrow’s election.
“This attack was violently carried out to discourage us from exercising our political franchise,” he said.
He advised voters and the general public to remain safe during this period and report any case of threat to lives, vandalisation, or violent attack to security officers.
