Panic broke out on Thursday in Lagos as thugs attacked supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) during a town hall meeting in the Oregun area of the metropolis.
Reports said the hoodlums, who were armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, stormed the venue of the event while the meeting was in session.
The attackers were said to have invaded the hall, disrupted proceedings and sent participants scampering for safety.
Many of the supporters ran in different directions to escape the attack, while chairs and other items at the venue were scattered in the confusion that followed.
At the time of filing this report, it was not clear if anyone was injured in the attack, or if any arrest had been made by the police.
