Police operatives on Friday sealed off Lion Field in Alimosho, Lagos, a venue earlier approved for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to host a political meeting.
The closure was made public by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, Labour Partyβs 2023 governorship candidate in Lagos, who described the action as an assault on democracy and an attempt to suppress opposition voices in the state.
βIt is truly disappointing that the Lagos APC is abusing state institutions by sealing off the venue where the ADC was scheduled to hold a meeting tomorrow after obtaining the necessary approvals,β Rhodes-Vivour wrote on his X handle.
He accused the ruling party of using security agencies to frustrate legitimate political activities. According to him, Lagos belongs to all its residents, not a select political class.
βNo amount of intimidation or harassment will stop us from engaging with the people,β he said. βOur movement is powered by the people, and no barricade or show of force can weaken their resolve for a better Lagos.β
The incident adds to recent reports of disruptions of ADC activities, including alleged assaults on members and interference with planned gatherings.
