The Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirant Jimi Agbaje came under attack yesterday during his your of local councils. While he escaped unhurt, one of his supporters was shot and had to be hospitalized.
It was gathered that one of Agbaje’s supporters was shot and was rushed to a hospital after losing so much blood. The rally was said to have been held at Olomowewe Square in Mushin as part of efforts to sensitise PDP members of his aspiration to govern Lagos using the party’s platform.
The Chairman of PDP in the council, Tunde Fabiyi, who confirmed the incident, said the bullet that hit Agbaje’s supporter was from the rifle of one of the policemen attached to the politician who wanted to scare the thugs away from his boss.
“Yes, it was true a PDP supporter was shot, but it is not as it is being painted by the social media. What really happened was that Agbaje was mobbed by some young boys after the rally, and in a bid to disperse the crowd, a shot was fired, which incidentally hit one of those who came with Agbaje,” he said.

‘Ebola not caused by witchcraft’

A rights group in the United Kingdom (UK), the Witchcraft and Human Rights Information Network (WHRIN), has called for more enlightenment on the Ebola virus. WHRIN’s Executive Director Gary Foxcroft said superstitious beliefs and inadequate health facilities may lead to the spread of the virus. The activist urged the United Nations (UN) bodies, governments, aid agencies and civil society organisations (CSOs) to demystify the causes of the outbreak. He noted that proper enlightenment would enable communities to understand that the disease is not caused by witchcraft to curb its spread. “Ebola is not caused by witchcraft. Rather, it is an infectious disease with a rational, scientific explanation of how it was created, how it is spread and how it can be treated. There is a huge amount of work that needs to be done to demystify the medical condition that is commonly associated with witchcraft across West Africa. They need to use all media tools at their disposal ...
