Peter Obi’s Supporters Take Over Lagos Streets, Chant Victory Songs After Attack By Thugs

According to a report by Daily Post on Thursday, November 12, 2026, supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have returned to the streets of Lagos State, chanting victory songs after regrouping following an attack on their town hall meeting by suspected political thugs.

The supporters were reportedly attacked on Wednesday, November 11, during a town hall meeting held in the Oregun area of Lagos State.

According to the report, the suspected attackers, allegedly linked to a rival political party, stormed the venue carrying cutlasses, cudgels and stones. Their arrival disrupted the meeting and forced several participants to run for safety.

However, the incident did not stop the supporters from continuing their activities. They reportedly regrouped shortly after the attack and moved into the streets, chanting the names of Peter Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The development comes amid growing concerns over the safety of political supporters as activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum.

A similar incident was reportedly recorded a few days earlier in Asaba, Delta State, where supporters of the former Anambra State governor were allegedly attacked. Reports indicated that one person lost his life while several others sustained injuries.

The latest incident has further raised concerns about political violence and the safety of Nigerians participating in political gatherings ahead of the 2027 general elections.
