Political thugs have disrupted a visit by Nigerian politician Peter Obi to Benue State for the second time. The latest incident adds to mounting tensions surrounding his movements in the region.
This disruption follows a previous interference in April 2025, when Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia halted one of Mr. Obi's scheduled visits to internally displaced persons (IDPs). The governor had cited security and protocol concerns as the justification for stopping that earlier visit.
