Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi escaped death at the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election to elect chairmanship candidates for the July 22 council polls in Lagos State on Saturday 27th May, 2017.
Trouble started when some aggrieved party supporters engaged one another in a free-for-all midway into the election, smashing ballot boxes over allegations of an imposition of candidates at the election. Those who witnessed the free-for-all fight told us that the senator who is the chairman of the primary was almost lynched and he escaped death by whiskers as security men moved him quickly to save his life.
