Peter Obi: Clear assassination attempt, they followed us to Oyegun’s house – Yunusa Tanko

AI Summary

Yunusa Tankan, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, told Channels Television's Sunrise Daily that an attack on former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and members of the African Democratic Congress in Benin City was a clear assassination attempt. He said the group was followed to the residence of former APC chairman John Odigie‑Oyegun, where gunshots were heard after their programme ended. Tankan described damage to the venue and alleged that the incident occurred despite expectations of heavy security. The claim raises concerns about the safety of political figures ahead of the 2027 elections, and authorities have not yet confirmed the allegations.
