The spokesman said: “It is imperative to clarify that the party notified the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Badagry of the time and locations of their visits and adequate security was provided.

“However, the campaign train made an unscheduled visit to a totally different and undisclosed location on their way back without commensurate notification to the police.

“The command is awaiting complaints/statements from victims which will assist in the ongoing investigation.

“The assurance is hereby given that no stone will be left unturned in the quest to arrest and prosecute the attackers.”
