The Labour Party (LP) said, one of its supporters attacked during the party presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s rally has lost his hand.
Recall that some Obidients came under savage attacks at the hands of louts when Obi drew the curtain on his campaign trail last week in Lagos.
One of the victims has had his hand amputated, as per the Director General of Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign Council, Akin Osuntokun.
Osuntokun made this known during a live appearance on Channels Television’s, The 2023 Verdict, while expressing doubt about the probability of a free-and-fair poll.
“I won’t score the preparation a 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,” the former aide to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo during the latter’s time as president remarked.
