The Lagos State Police Command has declared one Mustapha Adekunle aka Seigo wanted for attempting to disrupt the APC rally held at Skypower Ground, Ikeja, on January 8, 2019.
Mustapha, a member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW reportedly arrived the venue with a group of people and were identified at the entrance as supporters of the party .
As the rally progressed Seigo and his group violently engaged other supporters of the party.
It was in the confusion that one MC Oluomo, another NURTW chieftain, was stabbed and was rushed to EKO Hospital where he is currently recuperating while two other victims of the attack were taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital for treatment. The crisis was quickly contained by policemen at the venue.
However, a few hours before the rally started, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, held a meeting with the leaders of the NURTW and other affiliate groups where all the parties agreed to eschew violence before, during and after the electioneering. It was therefore surprising that a prominent member of NURTW would attempt to violently disrupt a peaceful political rally.
In view of the development, the Command has called on members of the public with useful information on the whereabouts of Mustapha Adekunle popularly known as Seigo to report such at a nearest police station.
Meanwhile, two persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.
