An aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress for the upcoming local government election in Lagos State, Hakeem Saka, was on Monday beaten and stripped naked by members of the party.
Saka is seeking the party’s ticket for the chairmanship of Odi Olowo Local Council Development Area.
He had gone to court after the initial primaries of the party, leading to the nullification of the election.
However on Monday when a fresh primary was to be held for the emergence of candidates for the local government poll by the APC, Saka was prevented from entering the venue.
He was equally beaten and had his cloth torn.
The primary was conducted by the initial committee set up for the purpose, with Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi as head.
