Before commenting on the Asaba lynching of an attempted murderer, look at this. Key documented incidents (roughly chronological) • Feb 2026, Benin City, Edo: Attack on the ADC secretariat (gunshots also reported at the residence of ex-Governor/APC National Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun). Edo Police confirmed the attack and ordered an investigation; opposition noted limited progress since. • Sep 12, Ndiuno-Obuoffia, Nkanu West, Enugu: Attack on an NDC rally. Eight members reportedly sustained gunshot injuries; canopies destroyed. • Oct 6, Igueben, Edo: Attack on an ADC campaign convoy involving Kenneth Imasuangbon and Herbert Okonofua. Alleged gunfire; supporter Jerry Oliha reported with gunshot wounds. ADC accused APC-linked individuals (incl. a local council chairman); the chairman denied involvement. • Oct 10, Enugu (around Akanu Ibiam Airport and party secretariat/GRA): Attacks on NDC members and supporters. Injuries reported, vehicles damaged, phones seized; NDC supporter Nwolie reportedly shot dead. Police began investigations. • Oct 30, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti: Violent assault on AAC presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore and his team (incl. security) at Tawakalitu Restaurant, shortly after a radio interview. Armed thugs (machetes reported) caused injuries, vandalized property and disarmed security. Sowore alleged links to Ekiti Government House figures, DSS tracking/support and APC-aligned actors. Police arrested and arraigned 11 suspects; Sowore rejected it as a cover-up. • Late Oct (Oct 30–31), Sokoto: Attack on ADC governorship candidate Alhaji Munir Dan Iya (Manir Dan'iya) by state-owned Sokoto Marshals/Community Guards on Airport Road. Vehicles (incl. his SUV) vandalized; two DSS personnel attached to him allegedly abducted/detained. Reported to police; ADC-PCC demanded arrests. Separate reports of an ADC women's/youth procession disrupted, with injuries and vehicle damage. • Nov 4, Calabar, Cross River (Watt Market/Roundabout): Attack on the convoy of NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi and running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso. Suspected hoodlums with machetes and sticks smashed windscreens (one vehicle ambushed). No injuries to the principals. Police arrested 27-year-old Victor Edet Yellow-Duke; investigation ongoing. Obi confirmed the incident (noting stones and weapons) and condemned it. • Nov 4, Sokoto-Wurno Road: Two ADC supporters allegedly shot by Sokoto State Community Guards while traveling to an Atiku Abubakar rally. Road barricaded; altercation reported; victims hospitalized. Police did not immediately confirm. Related roadblocks and attacks on supporters reported in areas like Tambuwal. • Nov 5–6, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi: Attack on the ADC (Atiku) campaign convoy. Vehicles pelted with stones and activities blocked. Amnesty International condemned it as part of a growing pattern of political repression of the opposition, linking it to the Sokoto incidents and security failures in multiple states (incl. Niger, Kaduna, Edo, Enugu). • Nov 7, Asaba, Delta (Nnebisi Road): Attack on an NDC/Obidient/OK Movement "One Million Man March" for Peter Obi. Suspected armed hoodlums (sticks, knives, machetes; some in black outfits/masks) disrupted it. Police confirmed one killed and five injured; multiple supporters hurt, incl. coordinator Comrade Noah, reportedly stabbed. Over 30 campaign vehicles, incl. buses and tricycles, vandalized or destroyed. NDC and OK Movement called it a premeditated, unprovoked assault by APC-linked thugs or local task force figures and demanded arrests. Delta Police noted prior intelligence of possible violence, advised against the open road procession (organizers proceeded) and launched an investigation. Delta Govt condemned the violence, called for a thorough probe and said it could have been avoided by following police advice.
