On Tuesday, a blockade against the vehicle carrying Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate Peter Obi along the Gboko-Makurdi Expressway resulted in over ten youths being hospitalized at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, BSUTH, Makurdi. The attackers targeted Obi who was on his way to Yelwata in Guma Local Government Area to offer solace to the victims of a terrorist attack that occurred on June 13, 2025.
Peter Obi suggested that the Special Assistant to Governor Hyacinth Alia on Youths was involved in orchestrating the incident and encouraging youths to obstruct his path. According to a source from BSUTH, on the day after the attack, more than ten wounded youths were admitted for immediate medical care, who are responding well to treatment.
The hospital's Chief Medical Director, Dr. Stephen Hwande, could not be reached for further comment, but the NDC Benue State publicity secretary, Agile-Bem Jabez Ordedoo, reported that one of the attackers had unfortunately died while receiving treatment at the hospital.
