Lagos PDP Gov Candidate, Jandor, Escapes Death As APC Thugs Attack Campaign Train

The Campaign train of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, aka Jandor, was reportedly attacked at the Ikoga Junction area of Badagry Local Government on Sunday while returning from a visitation to members of the party.

A statement by the Lagos State PDP Publicity Secretary and Chairman, Media and Publicity Team for JandorFunke 2023 Campaign Council, Hon Hakeem Amode, revealed that the attackers were sponsored thugs of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Amode also said that the attack led to injuries of several members of Jandor’s entourage and press men, stressing that as at the time of the press statement, one of the news reporters was in critical condition in an undisclosed hospital receiving treatment with others who were injured.

The thugs that attack the campaign train were shouting APC while shooting guns and using dangerous weapons.

The statement recalled “that our party raised concern over the threat to use APC sponsored thugs to attack the campaign programs of our Gubernatorial candidate Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran-JANDOR recently and we would like to state categorically that this will not deter the determination of our candidate to campaign for the next election and win the election come March 29, 2023.

“We would like to call on the Commissioner of Police of Lagos state and the Area Commander in the Badagry division to do everything possible to fish out those behind the attack and necessary disciplinary actions taken against them to forestall such occurrence in the future and to instill confidence in our members that they will be protected during this campaign period.

“We would like to also strongly warn those that are hell bent on causing trouble or planning to disrupt the campaign and elections that we would not fold our arms watch as we will resist all forms of intimidation.”
