It is no longer news that the election date is near and it is in
this bid that Segun Adewale the Lagos West Senatorial candidate of People’s
Democratic Party, PDP popularly known as Aeroland marched out with his people
in large numbers to canvass for votes before the unfortunate incidence that
left a gaping hole in the arm of Socialite and politician Fatima Mohammed.
National Enquirer reliably gathered from an eye witness that the
rally had progressed peacefully from Oshodi to Mushin where the people of
Mushin had trooped out en masse to support Aeroland who was conspicuously in
the view of all, alongside the victim Fatima an ardent supporter and member of
the PDP.
According to a source, the group was singing and marching on the
streets of Mushin when some hoodlums came out with guns and aimed directly at
the candidate; “they shot at us and aimed at Aero’s head, the intention was
clear, they wanted him dead but he was missed and Fatimo was shot at instead”
In a telephone conversation with the bubbly Fatima who is now
recuperating in an undisclosed hospital: the victim confirmed the story and
displayed displeasure on why a peaceful rally cannot take place without been
disrupted with violence. “The injury is much but I will be fine” she said
calmly.
As usual, tongues are wagging and accusing fingers have been
pointed at the opposition. In a statement released by the Aeroland campaign
team issued on Tuesday, the group reported their shock at the turn out of
events; “we are shocked by what happened in Mushin yesterday.
While canvassing for votes and peacefully passing though the
streets of Mushin, we were suddenly shot at by some thugs who were obviously
pro APC and had the aim of assassinating our principal Segun Adewale a.k.a
Aeroland.
Unfortunately, the shot fired didn't get to him but a young lady
standing close to him was the victim and has been rushed to an undisclosed
hospital.”
The group concluded by imploring the electorates to shun violence
and go to the polls in peace to elect the candidate of their choice
