Omoyele Sowore, a presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), has released new video evidence depicting the attack on him and his crew in Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State.
The politician and activist claimed it was obvious that the incident was an attempt on his life. The horrific attack on him and his team in Ado-Ekiti was documented in further film, he wrote.
I fail to understand how anyone could stand by and let this bloodshed unfold as if it were ordinary street fighting. Our position remains unchanged: this was an attempt at a coordinated assassination.
It was last week during Sowore’s visit to Ekiti that he was the victim of an attack. A large number of Nigerians took to social media to express their displeasure at the attack.
Cops had initially said there was just a confrontation between Sowore and a few people, but the activist maintains it was all part of a plot to assassinate him.
