Unidentified hoodlums on Saturday disrupted the Labour Party and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) event in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State.
The event was organised by the parties to officially mark the defection of LP members in Alimosho into ADC.
The hoodlums, who were more than 100, stormed the first venue of the event at the LP office in Idumu, and sent members, including officials, scampering for safety.
They welded different weapons, including knives and canes, and assaulted anyone they caught while the mayhem lasted.
The hoodlums shouted that LP and ADC are not welcome in Lagos State.
Some party members sustained varying degrees of injuries.

Undeterred by the disruption, officials of the two parties swiftly arranged for an alternative venue at the Eco Centre Event in Egbeda.
The LP chairman in Alimosho, Mr. Olaranwaju Olushola, popularly known as Heritage in Lagos, described the attack on his members as unwarranted.
He expressed fear that most Nigerians might not be free to express themselves in the build-up to the 2027 general elections.
