Panic erupted in the Oregun area of Lagos State on Thursday, November 12, after suspected political thugs armed with cutlasses, cudgels, and stones violently disrupted a town hall meeting organized by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

Eyewitness footage circulating online captured the moment the hoodlums stormed the venue while proceedings were actively underway, forcing party supporters and attendees to flee in different directions for safety.

In the ensuing chaos, chairs and event equipment were scattered across the hall as participants scrambled to escape the assault. As of press time, authorities have yet to confirm whether any attendees sustained injuries during the invasion or if the Lagos State Police Command has made any arrests in connection with the incident.

The Oregun disruption marks the latest in a string of violent attacks targeting political gatherings linked to the NDC as partisan activities intensify ahead of Nigeria's 2027 general elections.
