NDC Lagos Senatorial Candidate Adeola Adebanjo Hospitalised After Attack

According to reports from Punch Newspapers, the NDC Lagos senatorial candidate, Adeola Adebanjo, has been hospitalised after sustaining a broken leg during an attack. The specific details of the attack and when it occurred have not been disclosed. The NDC has not commented on the incident. This development comes amidst the ongoing political campaigns ahead of the 2026 elections. The attack on a major opposition party’s candidate raises concerns about the level of violence that may be prevalent during the elections. The opposition parties have been vocal about their fears of a brutal campaign of repression by the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). The APC has, however, denied any involvement in the attack. The incident is a stark reminder of the potential for political violence during elections in Nigeria.
