… as thugs shoot Obidient Movement members
National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, on Tuesday, raised the alarm over an attack on former presidential candidate, Peter Obi and members of his group in Benin, Edo State.
According to Tanko, armed thugs shot at Obi and members of the movement during the formal defection of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress in Benin City.
Tanko in a terse statement tagged, “Breaking Red Alert in Benin, Edo State,” 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 an assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
