The Johnsons’ Actor, Tari Attacked During Campaign To Unseat Desmond Elliot From Lagos House

Popular The Johnson’s actor, Tari real names Olumide Oworu has alleged an attack on him and his supporters in his continuing campaign to unseat his main opponent and fellow actor, Desmond Elliot from the Surulere 1 Constitutency seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Oworu alleged on Thursday that while campaigning in Surulere, he and other team members were attacked. He did not name the attackers but many comments on the attack on twitter are alluding to the camp of his main challenger, Elliot.

Despite the fact that the event has been reported to the Iponri police station, Olumide Oworu affirmed that nothing much had been done in the form of a response.

GWG.ng reports that the house of assembly candidate, took to his social media and tweeted about the attack and how he felt about it.

“My team and I were attacked on Tuesday as we attempted to campaign at Iponri, Surulere. A member of my team was injured, but we are thankful the incident didn’t escalate past the level it was. The case has been reported at the Iponri police station. I am not deterred by the incident. Instead I am more committed to seeing this through. We will pass through the wards in constituency 1 (Akinhanmi/Cole, Adeniran/Ogunsanya, Iponri Housing Estate/Eric Moore, Igbaja/Stadium, Shitta/Ogunlana Drive, Yaba/Ojuelegba). See you outside”!

Various social media users took to twitter to bash these unkown attackers and give words of encouragements to Olumide. GWG.ng has gathered the reactions;

Sorry about the unfortunate situation. I can categorically tell u Desmond will never associate himself with such bad behavior. He will never stoop so low to sending mobs to attack his opponents. He’s a good man

I hope you have plans to protect electorates on Saturday, I hope you are not depending on state apparatus? No youth should die oh!!! Get protection for youths. Camera and social media won’t resurrect anybody,  You can see we are on our own, no international community send us oh.

Vote LP @AdakaIn

The police won’t do anything. They collude, we saw Nigerian police unlook while criminals wreck havoc on 25th February. Just defend yourselves.

Remain dogged! @OlumideOworu. Don’t allow that sham call Elliot intimidate you. The community is behind show them you are capable, and you will see them when you turn to look back.
