The article reports on the disruption of a visit by Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, to Benue State. Thugs suspected to be loyalists of a political party blocked the Makurdi-Gboko Federal Highway, preventing Obi from reaching Yelewata to commiserate with victims of June 2025 attacks. The state government denied involvement, accusing Obi of not informing security agencies, while the Benue State Police Command confirmed awareness of the visit. The incident is described as an assault on Nigeria's democracy and the 1999 Constitution.
