LP demands investigation into secretariat attack, alleges insider involvement

Published on April 09, 2025 at 07:17 AM

The Lagos State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has called on President Bola Tinubu, the Nigeria Police, and the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the recent attack on its state secretariat.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, the Lagos LP Chairperson, Mrs. Dayo Ekong, described the attack, which occurred on Monday while party leaders were in Abuja for the National Executive Council meeting, as a “heinous crime against the state.”;

“We urge President Bola Tinubu, Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun, and the State Security Director to urgently intervene in this matter,”; Ekong said.

She alleged the attack was orchestrated by one Mr. Rasheed Bamishe, who, alongside armed thugs, illegally stormed the secretariat at 59 Oduduwa Way, GRA Ikeja.

According to Ekong, the assailants used dangerous weapons, charms, and fetish objects to vandalize offices, destroy property, and steal valuables worth hundreds of millions of naira, including local and foreign currencies.

“They physically assaulted and seriously injured loyal staff present at the secretariat during the attack,”; she revealed, confirming that five injured staff members were receiving medical treatment.

Ekong further alleged that the operation was backed by some influential members within the party.

“These individuals will be exposed in due time. We see no justification for this wicked and ill-intentioned assault on the party,”; she stated.

Describing the attack as “criminal vandalism and armed robbery disguised as politics,”; she warned that such actions would not be tolerated.

“The Labour Party in Lagos will pursue lawful means to ensure these perpetrators and their backers face justice, no matter how highly placed,”; Ekong vowed.

Echoing her remarks, the State Secretary, Mr. Sam Okpala, emphasized that the culprits must be punished to deter future incidents.
