A group of men allegedly attacked the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, on Saturday morning at the Lagos City Marathon.
The men also attacked some journalists and Sowore’s crew members covering the event, allegedly damaging their cameras and other devices.
Sowore, former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the 2023 elections, posted a video of the incident on X.
“How occupying a canopy after the Lagos Marathon 10k infuriated some rogue elements who assaulted our crew members and journalists leading to unprovoked attacks which led to the seized a camera of one of our journalists insisting they view and delete all the contents because it caught them live attacking our crew in Lagos,” he wrote.
