The incident occurred at Classic Event Place, Oregun, where NDC supporters had gathered for a meeting with the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The suspected attackers, reportedly armed with cudgels and cutlasses, stormed the venue, forcing some people inside the hall to flee for safety.
However, other party supporters reportedly regrouped and fought back, chasing the suspected thugs out of the hall. One of the alleged attackers was later apprehended at the car park.
A video from the incident showed a group of young men surrounding the suspected thug and beating him with sticks, while a voice in the background was heard saying, “Deal with him.”
The situation later escalated as an angry crowd moved onto Kudirat Abiola Way, a major road in the area.
Police officers reportedly fired shots into the air in an attempt to disperse the crowd and restore order.
Further details about the incident, including the number of people injured or arrested, were not immediately available.
