The National Coordinator of Obidient Movement Worldwide, Yunusa Tanko, has described the attack on former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and others as a clear assassination attempt.
Tanko made this statement on Wednesday on ‘Sunrise Daily’, a programme on Channels Television.
He was recounting the attack on Obi and chieftains of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, at the Benin City residence of former All Progressives Congress, APC,
National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun.
“It’s clear to me that it was just an attempt at assassination because they followed us down to Oyegun’s house at GRA in Benin.
“After a prior engagement, we proceeded to Chief’s house. There, we learned the event schedule and subsequently moved to the venue, a three-story building.
“Although we successfully concluded our programme without incident, five minutes after our departure, attacks occurred at the venue.
“Footage showed significant damage. We then returned to Chief Oyegun’s house, where, despite expectations of heavy security, all of a sudden we started hearing gunshots.”
