BlackBox Nigeria can confirm that violence has erupted in Odi-Olowo LCDA in Mushin area of Lagos as the ruling APC conducts a rescheduled primary election to pick its flag bearer for the area.
BBN correspondent who was on ground at the primaries reports that Mr Hakeem Saka an aspirant for the Chairmanship slot who had earlier dragged the party to court over imposition was beaten and stripped by some thugs loyal to a faction of the party.
The primary election BBN can confirm turned bloody when Hakeem Saka protested the exclusion of some registered delegates in the primaries which was conducted by the Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi led APC Electoral Commitee at the Rafiu Solomon Hall in Odi-Olowo.
Another participant was also attacked and injured in the fracas as pictured below.
Trouble started weeks ago when an unsatisfied Saka dragged the leadership of the party to court over what he termed as imposition. He later emerged victorious which led to the organisation of a new primary.
Despite the violence that broke out, Rasaki Ajala has however been declared winner at the primaries. He defeated Saka and four others to emerge victorious.
Rasaki Ajala polled 169 votes to Hakeem Saka’s 9 votes bringing him in at a distant second. Others barely made a mark.
See the final results below….
Owoeye Deji- 1
Bashiru Magbade- 2
Hakeem Saka- 9
Rasaki Ajala -169
Faso- No vote
Obale– No vote.
