Panic erupted in the Oregun area of Lagos State on Thursday after suspected thugs attacked supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) during a town hall meeting.

The attackers, reportedly armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, stormed the venue while the gathering was still in progress, disrupting proceedings and forcing participants to flee for safety.

According to reports, the hoodlums invaded the hall and caused widespread confusion as attendees hurried in different directions to escape the assault. Chairs and other items at the venue were also scattered during the chaos.

As of the time of filing this report, it remained unclear whether anyone sustained injuries or whether the police had arrested any suspects in connection with the incident.

The attack comes amid growing concerns over reports of violent incidents at gatherings associated with the NDC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
