TWO PERSONS KILLED AS APC PRIMARIES ELECTION TURN BLOODY IN SURULERE
Two persons were confirmed dead as violence erupted in Surulere during the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries for the forthcoming Local Government election in Lagos State.
It was gathered that suspected political thugs and cultists went on rampage during the exercise leading to attacks on electoral officials.
Several persons were also injured in many Local Government areas, including Shomolu, Alimosho, Ejigbo, among others when thugs disrupted the exercise.
The State Secretariat of the APC at Acme Road was also barricaded with scores of armed policemen deployed to the secretariat as results from the LGAs started coming in.
Recall that Eons Intelligence reported that there has been tension in the State over the primary election for the 57 chairmanship candidates and 377 councillorship candidates of the ruling party.
On Friday, some youths stormed the residence of the Lagos State Chief of Staff over alleged imposition of candidates by party leaders.
