Hoodlums attack Bola Tinubu's convoy in Lagos state
Recall that the convoy of Tinubu was attacked by some hoodlums in Lagos.
The near-death incident took place on Sunday, June 19, at Adeniji end of Isale Eko when Tinubu was on his way to his Bourdilon residence after paying a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Babatunde Osuolale Aremu Akiolu.
The hoodlums threw stones and other dangerous weapons at the convoy as it drove from the Oba's palace.
