Police in the state also assured Nigerians of the move by the security agency to apprehend and prosecute some of the attackers in the Ilasan area of Eti-Osa Local Government.
Speaking further, Osuntokun said while he would not score Labour Party a 100% in its preparation for the election, there is hope for the party's victory.
His words:
"The predisposition to voter suppression through violence, we have been a victim of that, especially in Lagos.
“INEC people actually responded to people looking for their PVCs discriminatorily and when we had the rally in Lagos, our supporters were prevented in certain areas from coming to the Tafawa Balewa Square and some of them were injured.
"As we speak one of them has had his hand amputated."
