The African Action Congress (AAC) has expressed concern over an alleged attack on their presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, and his campaign team in Ekiti State. According to the party, Sowore's whereabouts are currently unknown following the incident, which reportedly took place around 1pm on Friday. AAC spokesperson Abdulkareem Musa emphasized the seriousness of the situation, urging security agencies to investigate the incident and ensure Sowore's safety.

The campaign called for an immediate security assessment, appropriate protective measures, and a thorough investigation into the incident, warning that any harm to Sowore or his team would be unacceptable.
