The protesters accused Ojelabi of bias and were about to beat him up when policemen waded in and rescued the chairman.
In a viral video, the angry members removed the chairman’s cap, and attempted to beat him, but were stopped by the timely intervention of police officers.
It was gathered that the protesters, who had converged at the party’s secretariat, embarked on the act when Ojelabi totally turned down their request for possible solutions to end the leadership crisis rocking the party chapter in Alimosho.
The chairman had refused to accept their request and insisted that the current public officeholders must be on seat during a meeting that will deliberate on their wish and recommendation for APC in Alimosho.
