Hoodlums aka Alayes took advantage of a political campaign rally to burn 18 luxury Chisco buses in Lagos, Nigeria, in apparent protest over Goodluck Jonathan’s poster.
President Goodluck Jonathan speaking on the attack said:
"I was surprised last night when the owner of Chisco, the company that runs transport business between Lagos and the South East told me that 18 of his luxury buses were burnt down in Lagos by youths of a rival party because my billboard was close to his facility”.
“Is that the kind of people that want to take over the running of this country? Is this country going to be managed by people with that kind of background?”
"I Was Shocked When I Heard That Chisco Buses Was Burnt".
The fire was said to have started after some hoodlums threw substances suspected to be explosives into the premises of the transport company in apparent protest against President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign poster on a building beside Chisco’s head office.
A witness who spoke to local press said: "It was when the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign train was passing during their political rally along Eko Bridge that some hoodlums supporting the party, took advantage of the rally to throw objects into the premises of the company when they saw President Jonathan’s billboard hung on the uncompleted building beside Chisco Head Office, thinking the premises belongs to the Federal Government.”
The building where the billboard hung belongs to the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), a Federal Government owned property sharing a common fence with the leading transport company.
