An unidentified lone protester in Ondo state has been attacked by a group of youths believed to be thugs.
The protester, who had set up his Toyota car with placards and was playing music while sitting inside was confronted by the thugs.
Eyewitnesses reported that the protester had parked his car by the roadside and displayed placards on the front and back of the vehicle.
“The man was sitting in his car, he didn’t move about, he parked the car by the roadside, he placed placards on his Toyota car and sat on the car playing music.
“Suddenly, some boys appeared and asked him the reason for being in the place with placards. I think he didn’t respond to their satisfaction, this led to an argument.
“As the argument was ongoing, the boys brought out canes and started flogging him. He quickly rushed into his car and moved away immediately,” an eyewitness told Punch.
