Peter Obi, ADC Chiefs Attacked In Edo State

The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, on Tuesday, raised alarm over an attack on former presidential candidate, Peter Obi and its members in Benin, Edo State.

Tanko disclosed that armed thugs had shot at Obi and members of the movement during the formal defection of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Benin City.

In a terse statement, he signed tagged: “Breaking Red Alert in Benin, Edo State,” Tanko said: “PO and the leadership of the ADC are under siege and attack in Benin, Edo State.

“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.

“They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a successful assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”

Peter Obi, while speaking on the attack, condemned the gunmen’s attack, saying the incident underscores growing concerns about the health of Nigeria’s democracy.

The incident reportedly occurred shortly after Obi, Odigie-Oyegun and other political figures attended the formal declaration of Barrister Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Benin.

A video from the scene showed visible bullet holes on the estate gate and damaged vehicles, indicating the intensity of the attack.
