Pro-PDP Groups & Armed OPC Members Protest Against Jega in Lagos

Thousands of Odua People’s Congress (OPC) members and pro – PDP groups staged a protest on three major roads in Lagos on Monday to call for the sack of Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Attahiru Jega.

Vanguard reports that in addition to rallying against Jega, the gathering also served as a pro-rally for President Goodluck Jonathan.

Sources say the OPC members were seen brandishing weapons such as knives, cutlasses and guns and harassed motorists and pedestrians. In general, both groups’ activities are said to have caused heavy traffic on the roads they occupied which were: Alausa, Olusosun, as well as Iyana Oworonsoki and Ojota axis.
