Police disperse, Obi’s supporters in Ebonyi
In Ebonyi State on Saturday police officers dispersed supporters of the OBI-dient movement with teargas who gathered at the Pastoral Centre, Abakaliki for the one-million-march for the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi. The crowd gathered were up to a thousand in number.
The incident grounded both human and vehicular movements on the popular Old Enugu Road, in the capital city, on Saturday morning.
One of the supporters, Steve Ugama, said in addition to dispersing and tear-gassing the supporters, about five of his colleagues have been arrested.
He said, “This is inhuman and undemocratic. We have gathered here this morning for our peaceful March, all of a sudden, the police came and started tear-gassing us and arresting our people.
“They said we can’t hold the march, because Governor David Umahi asked them to stop us, that we can’t hold it. About four or our colleague have been arrested. We need help here.”
