Desmond Elliot’s LP competitor Olumide Oworu attacked by thugs during campaign [video]

Popular Nollywood actor and Labour Party (LP) House of Reps candidate, Olumide Oworu, has cried out after being reportedly attacked by thugs in Lagos.

The actor who is contesting against his senior colleague and All Progressives Congress (APC)’s candidate, Desmond Elliot, claimed he and his team members were attacked on Tuesday, March 14, as they attempted to campaign in Iponri, Surulere.

Oworu assured concerned parties that the matter had already been reported at the police station in Iponri.

In a different tweet, the actor made it clear that he remains undeterred by the incident, adding that his campaign trail will make appearances in other neighbourhoods in the area.

He wrote:

My team and I were attacked on Tuesday as we attempted to campaign at Iponri, Surulere. A member of my team was injured, but we are thankful the incident didn’t escalate past the level it was. The case has been reported at the Iponri police station.
I am not deterred by the incident. Instead I am more committed to seeing this through. We will pass through the wards in constituency 1 (Akinhanmi/Cole, Adeniran/ Ogunsanya, Iponri Housing Estate/ Eric Moore, Igbaja/Stadium, Shitta/ Ogunlana Drive, Yaba/Ojuelegba). See you outside!
