The citizens were heading to Peter Obi\u2019s rally at the Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS, in Onikan on Saturday when they were attacked.<\/p>\n

At least four persons were injured by the hoodlums who ambushed them and others with clubs and machetes.<\/p>\n

Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin said the Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) has taken over the probe.<\/p>\n

A statement by the spokesperson confirmed the Ilasan Division earlier commenced preliminary investigations.<\/p>\n

The police condemned the attack and advised political leaders to prevail on their followers to be law-abiding and shun violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Command will leave no stone unturned to deal decisively with offenders in accordance with the law,\u201d Hundeyin added.<\/p>\n

The LP presidential candidate and his entourage arrived at the TBS late Saturday afternoon after stops at Alaba International Market, Mile 2 and Orile.<\/p>\n
