Rhodes-Vivour and Oluwo confirm attack on Twitter
In addition, he also confirmed the attack on his verified Twitter handle on Sunday morning.
He tweeted: “Yesterday’s rally was great, we connected & saw supporters in Epe. We were attacked but we are all safe & secure. It’s a shame that some deem it fit to use violence to try & intimidate those who want a better Lagos & such actions have no place in Lagos. WE ARE not intimidated.”
