The Lagos State Police Command has begun investigations into the attack by armed thugs on the campaign train of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) in the state, Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Benjamin Hundeyin, made this known in a Twitter thread yesterday, the attack was said to have occurred while the convoy reached the Ikoga Junction area of Badagry Local Government.

In the Twitter thread, Hundeyin noted that the Divisional Police Officer of Badagry was notified of the campaign train’s movement in the area and security was made available for them.

He, however, noted the campaign train had made an unscheduled visit to an undisclosed location without notifying the police.

He said: “The Lagos State Police Command has commenced investigations into the attack on the campaign train of the PDP gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, Olajide Adediran.

“It is imperative to clarify that the party notified DPO Badagry of the time and locations of their visits. Adequate security was provided.

“However, the campaign train made an unscheduled visit to a totally different and undisclosed location on their way back without commensurate notification to the police.

“Furthermore, the command is awaiting from the victims a complaint/statement that would assist in the ongoing investigation.

“The assurance is hereby given that no stone will be left unturned to arrest and prosecute the attackers.”
