A visit by the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, to Benue State on Tuesday was disrupted by suspected thugs who confronted his convoy along Gboko Road in Makurdi.
Mr Obi was reportedly on a scheduled visit to the state when his convoy was stopped near the Air Force Base.
The incident, according to his campaign photographer, Esther Umoh, occurred shortly after the convoy arrived in Benue.
Ms Umoh, in a post on X accompanied by videos, alleged that suspected thugs blocked the road.
“We have just arrived in Benue State, where alleged sponsored thugs have blocked Boko Road by the Air Force Base, attempting to prevent Peter Obi from gaining access into the state,” she said.
