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.

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

“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.”
