Okay, uh, let's quickly speak with the publicity, let's speak with the publicity secretary of the party now.

Uh, we're also hearing that there might be some sort of reinforcement from the attackers coming in.

So we are trying to stay safe. Um, so- They want to escape him or- Okay, sorry. Hold on.

We are hearing information that, um, they are trying to escape this guy that they have tied down.

But let's quickly speak with the publicity secretary.

Sir, uh, currently it looks like you've gotten one of the person that allegedly attacked you.

What's the next plan now? What will happen?

We also see that a lot of injury have been inflicted on him.

Okay, so to start with, um, these are agents, but we have the guy here.

Um, we're going to hand him over to the security agencies that are here.

We have the DSS, we have the police here, and I'm sure this is, this should be government-sponsored.

Why? Because this is very close to governor's office. Do you understand?

This is close to the seat of power in the central city of Ikeja.

And I'm, I'm, I'm disappointed that the governor can allow urchins to be unleashing terror on people.

This is an event place that we came to pay for.

We came to have an event here. So it's, it's sad.

Now, look, look at vehicles here. Please come close.

Please come close. Um, look at vehicles that are damaged here.

Look at the... Some of our security men over here.

So sadly, sadly, yeah, look, look, look at, look at the deputy state chairman's vehicle.

Look at, please look at this, deputy state chairman's vehicle.

So this is, this is targeted at us. This is targeted at us.

Look, look, look at Aisha, Aisha, Aisha, um, from Ikorodu.

This, this, this her vehicle. Do you understand? This targeted at us.

And so the sad thing is there were no enforcement here.

DSS officers were here. Sorry, just to establish, we are hearing gunshots now.

Just as we're here, we're hearing gunshots.
