Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi arrived in Jos, the capital of Plateau State, after leaving Benue State. In Benue, youths believed to be political thugs blocked a major access road, preventing Obi from entering the state capital, Makurdi. Obi had planned to visit the families of victims of the June 2025 massacre in Yelewata.
Upon his convoy being stopped by the youths at Gyado Villa along Gboko Road, Obi urged the Inspector General of Police, Director of DSS, and other agencies to intervene. He called on state governors to take action, emphasizing that the country and its followers should not tolerate such rascality. Obi, who previously served as a governor, stated that this situation cannot continue.
The incident has sparked reactions, with human rights activist Omoyele Sowore condemning the attackers and Obi's running mate Rabi'u Kwankwaso appealing for international protection of opposition leaders.
