Peter Obi Supporter’s Hand Amputated In Lagos After Attack At LP Rally

One supporter of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, had his hand amputated in Lagos after being attacked during the party’s final campaign rally.

Freshreporters News had previously reported that several supporters wearing LP attire were harassed, beaten, and had their vehicles destroyed on their way to the rally at Tafewa Belawa Square in Lagos.

Videos of the incident circulated on social media, showing torn clothing and various injuries sustained by the supporters.

On Tuesday’s episode of Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict, the Director General of Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign Council, Akin Osuntokun, expressed concern about potential voter suppression through violence and over-voting, citing the nullification of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) victory in Osun State despite the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

The LP campaign DG expressed doubt about the preparation for the upcoming presidential election on February 25th, citing these factors. He stated that he would not give the election preparation a 100% score due to these concerns.

Osuntokun said, “I won’t score the preparation 100 per cent; there are some factors that challenge that conclusion. The predisposition to voter suppression through violence, we have been a victim of that, especially in Lagos.

“INEC people actually responded to people looking for their PVCs discriminatorily, and when we had the rally in Lagos, our supporters were prevented in certain areas from coming to the Tafawa Balewa Square and some of them were injured. As we speak, one of them has had his hand amputated.

“So when you take these into consideration, you cannot be confident that this is going to work well.

“And as I remarked once the fact that the BVAS or the electronic transmission introduction to the system is supposed to preclude the possibility of over-voting, but according to the judgement of the tribunal on the Osun State election that was conducted a while ago, the tribunal nullified the victory of the PDP on account of over-voting, now were does that come in?” Osuntokun questioned.
