LAGOS FEBRUARY 25TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Valentine Obienyem, the Media Adviser of Peter Obi has recalled how his boss and the former Presidential candidate, Odigie Oyegun and other prominent ADC members escaped being killed by hoodlums during a visit to Benin-City, Edo State.
He recounted that Mr. Peter Obi visited the ADC secretariat, where he joined the former governors of Edo State, Chief John Oyegun and Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, as well as other ADC leaders, to welcome Barr. Olumide Akpata into the party.
“While there, they noticed unusual activities by individuals in Siena buses. As Obi left the secretariat for Chief Oyegun’s residence, these vehicles followed him. Initially, the convoy did not suspect anything, as the movements of the Siena buses appeared inconspicuous.
“Once Obi’s car entered the residence and the gate was shut, the Siena buses arrived and opened fire on the convoy. At that time, Obi’s vehicle was safely inside, while security vehicles and backup personnel were still outside.
“The hoodlums, suspected to be on a mission, fired at multiple vehicles and attempted to breach Chief Oyegun’s residence, shooting repeatedly at the gates, until security personnel returned fire, forcing them to flee. Thankfully, no lives were lost, though several people sustained varying degrees of injuries,” Valentine Obienyem, the media Media Adviser to Peter Obi recalled..
