The Lagos State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has called on President Bola Tinubu, the Nigeria Police, and the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the recent attack on its state secretariat.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, the Lagos LP Chairperson, Mrs. Dayo Ekong, described the attack, which occurred on Monday while party leaders were in Abuja for the National Executive Council meeting, as a “heinous crime against the state.”
“We urge President Bola Tinubu, Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun, and the State Security Director to urgently intervene in this matter,” Ekong said.
She alleged the attack was orchestrated by one Mr. Rasheed Bamishe, who, alongside armed thugs, illegally stormed the secretariat at 59 Oduduwa Way, GRA Ikeja.
According to Ekong, the assailants used dangerous weapons, charms, and fetish objects to vandalize offices, destroy property, and steal valuables worth hundreds of millions of naira, including local and foreign currencies.
