Presidential hopeful and Chieftain of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr Peter Obi has been reportedly attacked in Benin City, Edo State.
It was gathered that Obi was in Benin for a party function when hoodlums invaded the arena and started shooting sporadically.
His media aide, Mr Val Obienyem who revealed this stated that the hoodlums targeted Obi, who was immediately whisked away.
A short statement he circulated said: “At an ADC event today, hoodlums invaded the venue and began shooting. They specifically chased the vehicle carrying Mr. Peter Obi to Chief John Onyegu’s house and continued their attack.
“This happened a few minutes ago. The situation remains chaotic, and those nearby are trying to ascertain whether Mr. Obi was wounded.”
He however updated journalists later, confirming that Peter Obi was safe, as he escaped unharmed. He called for calm.
