Panic erupted in Lagos on Thursday after suspected thugs disrupted a town hall meeting organised by supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Oregun area of the state.
The attackers, reportedly armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, stormed the venue while the meeting was underway, forcing participants to flee for safety.
The hoodlums allegedly invaded the hall, disrupted proceedings and sent attendees scrambling for exits as confusion engulfed the venue.
Several supporters reportedly ran in different directions to escape the attackers, leaving chairs and other items scattered across the hall.
As of the time of filing this report, details of possible casualties remained unclear. It was also unknown whether the police had made any arrests in connection with the incident.
