The presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Mr Peter Obi, was yesterday stopped by some Benue youths from visiting Yelewata community in Guma Local Government Area of the state, where he was scheduled to make personal donations to victims of the June 13, 2025, armed herdsmen attack.

The government said it “rejected, in the strongest terms,” claims by Obi that he was prevented from accessing Yelewata by thugs working for the state government.
