The secretariat of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Edo State chapter was on Tuesday attacked by suspected thugs few minutes after Barr. Olumide Akpata, governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2024 Edo State gubernatorial election defected to the ADC.
The suspected political thugs stormed the party’s secretariat, destroying facilities and injuring party members.
The suspected thugs thereafter moved to the Benin GRA home of the National Leader of the ADC and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, where they shot sporadically and destroyed many vehicles.
It would be recalled, Odigie-Oyegun Oyegun had a few minutes after the attacks, led other ADC leaders, including the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi, to receive Olumide Akpata.
