Many others were said to have sustained injuries in the attack as violence spread to other wards in the council. A document made available to one of our correspondents showed that of the four aspirants vying for the councillorship position, only one of them, Ms. Barakat Bakare-Akande with number 0066, was successfully screened.

Their grouse, it was learnt, was based on the fact that another list showing that Babatunde Thomas was cleared had already been circulated. They, therefore, believed that there was foul play. Meanwhile, the Progressive Youth Wing of the APC has condemned the violence in a statement on Saturday its spokesman, Ibrahim Alowonle.Alowonle said, “We strongly condemn the violence that erupted on May 29, 2021 in some areas of Surulere, Lagos, that has now resulted in at least two deaths and injuries to several residents.”
