A viral video captured the moment Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s convoy was booed and pelted with water bottles by angry Lagosians.
The governor in company of his convoy was driving out of a shopping complex in Lagos on Tuesday, March 30th when bystanders started shouting and screaming ”Ole Ole”.
Although the reason for their action is unknown, the residents who appeared angry were also seen throwing bottles at the cars as security details surrounded the car conveying the governor.
