THE NATION REPORTERS reports that Police in Ebonyi State on Saturday dispersed supporters of the OBI-dient movement who gathered at the Pastoral Centre, Abakaliki for the one-million-march for the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Our correspondent, who was at the venue saw men of the Nigeria Police Force teargas Obi’s supporters, who numbered over 1,000.
The incident caused both human and vehicular traffic on the popular Old Enugu Road, in the capital city, on Saturday morning.
One of the supporters, Steve Ugama, said aside dispersing and tear-gassing the supporters, about five of his colleagues have been arrested by the police.
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.”
