2027: NDC secretariat attacked in Edo

Suspected political thugs have attacked the secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State, destroying property at the facility.

The attack, reported on Wednesday, October 14, comes barely a week after NDC supporters were reportedly attacked during a political gathering in Enugu State.

A video circulating on social media showed damage to property within the Edo secretariat, although no casualties had been reported as of the time of filing this report.

In the footage, a woman accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of being responsible for the attack, linking the incident to the earlier violence in Enugu.

“The last one happened in Enugu, where one person died. Now they have brought it to Edo. APC, your end is here,” she said.

Her allegation against the APC has not been independently verified, while the identities of those responsible for the attack remain unknown.

The reported incident follows growing concerns over political violence ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The earlier incident in Enugu had prompted Governor Peter Mbah to demand an impartial police investigation, warning that anyone found responsible would face prosecution regardless of political connections.

It was not immediately clear whether security agencies had commenced an investigation into the Edo attack or identified any suspects.
