Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, has called on Nigeria's Federal Government to take decisive action against those responsible for killings and kidnappings across the country, saying the attackers are known and should be stopped. According to the Daily Post, Obi made the appeal during a visit to an Internally Displaced Persons camp in Mangu Local Government Area, also urging authorities to end the violence and return displaced residents to their homes.

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on the Inspector-General of Police and the Director-General of the Department of State Services to intervene after his planned visit to Yelewata community in Benue State was disrupted. Obi, who arrived in Makurdi on Tuesday morning and was heading to Yelewata, urged the security chiefs to call governors to order over the alleged convoy blockade, according to Daily Trust.

Suspected thugs disrupted a visit by former presidential candidate Peter Obi to Benue State, marking the second such incident, Premium Times reported. The first disruption occurred in April 2025, when Governor Hyacinth Alia stopped Obi's planned visit to internally displaced persons, citing security and protocol concerns. Details of the latest incident, including whether anyone was injured or arrested, were not immediately provided in the report.

Nigerian police have said they are investigating the alleged blockade of Labour Party figure Peter Obi's convoy in Benue State. According to police spokesperson Nwadiogbu, officers had provided security for Obi's movement to Yelwata, where he was expected to visit communities affected by the deadly attack of June 13, 2025. The police statement indicated the circumstances surrounding the reported obstruction of the former presidential candidate's convoy are now under formal investigation.

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi said it was “totally unacceptable” that his convoy was obstructed during a visit to Benue State, according to Vanguard. Obi, who travelled to commiserate with communities affected by recent killings, said his team was stopped from reaching the area where he intended to pay a condolence visit. The report did not identify who stopped the convoy or give further details.

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), arrived in Jos, Plateau State, on Tuesday ahead of a planned solidarity visit to Mangu Local Government Area. According to Vanguard, the visit follows a recent deadly attack on communities in the area, and Obi is expected to meet with victims affected by the violence during his time in the state.
