Political Thugs Go Wild in Lagos as a House Member Seeks 5th Term

 

Why on earth should you be used to destabilize another in exchange for peanuts? Why would you prefer to be someone’s thug?

Political thugs, last weekend unleashed terror on residents of Ajegunle, a suburb of Lagos, destroying properties worth millions of naira during a political campaign.

The thugs, numbering over 300, allegedly invaded Ajegunle and its environs during a political declaration campaign by a politician (names withheld) and a member Lagos State House of Assembly, who is angling to contest for the fifth term.

According to reports, the politician, who was accompanied by the thugs during the declaration, gave out bundles of N1000 notes in appreciation of their undiluted support towards his political ambition around Alao bus stop in Ojo road.

Trouble, it was learned, started when the sharing formula did not go well with some of the thugs as those from Campus in Adejiyan and Alaba streets took advantage of the situation to unleash terror on residents, using guns and axes to frighten residents.

They also looted shops and damaged parked vehicles.

Also seen were damaged vehicles, properties and shrapnel of broken bottles and shattered car windscreens which littered major streets as Jinadu, Apasa Safejo and Alao streets, while most shops remained shut.

This is unbecoming of the youths who should be angling to take over the reign of power today and not tomorrow.

As for the guy gunning for the fifth term… Na wa ooo!
