The convoy of the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was reportedly blocked by suspected thugs in Benue State on Tuesday.

The incident reportedly occurred along Boko Road as the presidential candidate’s convoy attempted to gain access into the state.

According to reports, a group of suspected thugs allegedly blocked the roadway, preventing Obi and members of his convoy from proceeding.

The individuals were reportedly carrying sticks while occupying the road.

The development disrupted the movement of the Peter Obi’s convoy as it attempted to continue its journey into Benue.

However, details surrounding the incident remained unclear as of press time.

It was not immediately established why the group blocked the road or whether the action was linked to Obi’s political activities in the state.

There was also no immediate information confirming whether anyone was injured during the incident.

Similarly, it remained unclear whether any vehicle in the Peter Obi’s convoy sustained damage.

The reported incident comes amid heightened political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, with political parties and their candidates increasingly engaging communities across the country.

Obi, who previously contested the 2023 presidential election, is seeking the presidency under the NDC platform.

The former Anambra State governor has continued political engagements and consultations as parties prepare for the next election cycle.

For now, the circumstances surrounding the reported obstruction along Boko Road remain unclear.

Further information from relevant authorities or the political camp involved would be required to establish the full details of what occurred.
