The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran aka Jandor and his deputy, Funke Akindele among a host of other supporters narrowly escaped death during an unprovoked attack by some suspected thugs, on Sunday.

It was learnt that the attack occurred while the campaign train of Jandor was passing through the Ikoga Junction area of Badagry Local Government.

While Jandor and Akindele escaped the attack untouched, several members of the party and journalists sustained varying degrees injuries.

This was also disclosed in a statement made available by the Lagos State PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr Hakeem Amode.

The statement reads, “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 on March 11, 2023.

“We hereby call on the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State and the Area Commander of Police 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 occurrences in the future.

“This will instil confidence in our members that they will be protected during this campaign period.

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