The incident comes shortly after Obi visited parts of Benue State during a wider political tour across Kogi, Benue and Enugu states.
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi’s convoy was reportedly attacked by suspected political thugs on the Airport-Boko Road on Tuesday, with the attackers allegedly warning the former Anambra State governor against entering Benue State.
A post claimed that the incident occurred as Obi travelled towards Benue, alleging that the attackers were politically sponsored and had insisted that he must not enter the state.
The report also called on the Federal and Benue State governments to intervene, arguing that political leaders and their supporters should be allowed to move freely and participate in political activities without intimidation.
The incident comes shortly after Obi visited parts of Benue State during a wider political tour across Kogi, Benue and Enugu states. He had stopped in Otukpa, Ogbadibo Local Government Area, where he interacted with residents and traders along the route.
