Assassination Attempt: Peter Obi attacked in Edo

The office of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised alarm over an attack on its chieftain, Peter Obi, as he and the party team went to formally welcome Olumide Akpata into the party.

Dr. Yunusa Tanko, Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, reported that armed men trailed the convoy from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of former APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.

In a message shared with Objectv Media, Dr. Tanko said the assailants opened fire at the gate and damaged several vehicles, describing the incident as an apparent assassination attempt on Mr. Obi and the ADC team.

The party has called for immediate investigation and heightened security measures for its leaders in the state.
