DSS nabs suspect linked to attack on Peter Obi, ADC leaders in Edo

The Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a suspect believed to be connected to the assault on the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as well as prominent figures of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Benin, Edo State.

Identified as Udeme Sunday Stephen, the suspect was taken into custody following a thorough investigation by the intelligence agency.

PUNCH Online had reported that Obi and some party chieftains were attacked at the residence of a chieftain of the ADC, John Odigie-Oyegun, last Tuesday.

According to the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, the incident occurred shortly after they returned from the ADC secretariat, where they formally welcomed the 2023 LP governorship candidate for Edo, Olumide Akpata, into the party.
