The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has alleged that his planned visit to Benue State on Tuesday was disrupted after his convoy was stopped by security personnel and suspected thugs.
According to statements released by Obi’s team, the former Anambra State governor was travelling along Boko Road when his convoy was intercepted near the Air Force Base.
The team alleged that the incident involved suspected sponsored thugs and security operatives, who prevented the convoy from proceeding towards the state capital.
Obi and members of his team reportedly made attempts to continue with the scheduled visit, but the security personnel allegedly maintained the blockade, forcing the convoy to remain at a standstill.
