Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Tuesdday, raised the alarm following a violent attack on former presidential candidate Peter Obi and his supporters in Benin City, Edo State.
Tanko disclosed that armed thugs opened fire on Obi and movement members during the formal reception of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a terse “Red Alert” statement, Tanko detailed the incident:
“PO [Peter Obi] and the leadership of the ADC are under siege in Benin. Following the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata, armed individuals trailed our convoy 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 survived assassination attempt. Democracy is in danger.”
