The Benue State Police Command has apprehended 46 individuals in relation to the assault on the vehicle carrying Peter Obi, the candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Nigeria's presidential elections. Commissioner of Police, Cletus Nwadiogbu, disclosed this on a recent Wednesday, stating that the investigation is still in progress and that key leaders of the youths involved are being pursued.
He cautioned that the Benue State police would not tolerate any act of political intolerance as the upcoming general election draws nearer. The police force affirmed their commitment to identifying all those implicated and ensuring that anyone found guilty faces the legal consequences. This incident occurred following a blockade of Obi's convoy on his journey to Yelwata, where he was scheduled to meet with victims of the June 2025 attacks.
The trouble began a short distance from the airport when Obi's convoy encountered a roadblock on the two-lane federal highway that connects Makurdi and Gboko.
