Peter Obi’s Supporters Return to Lagos Streets After Thug Attack

According to Daily Post, published on November 12, 2026, supporters of Peter Obi have returned to the streets of Lagos after suspected political thugs disrupted their town hall meeting in the Oregun area of the state.

The incident reportedly occurred on Wednesday when the supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate gathered for a political meeting ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to the report, the attackers invaded the venue with cutlasses, cudgels and stones, causing confusion and forcing participants to flee for safety.

The disruption, however, did not prevent the supporters from continuing their activities. Shortly after the incident, they regrouped and took to the streets, where they were seen chanting songs in support of Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Their return to the streets attracted attention because it came moments after the reported attack on their gathering. The supporters continued expressing their political allegiance despite the disruption.

The Lagos incident is not the first reported attack involving Obi’s supporters since political activities ahead of the 2027 elections began.

Daily Post also recalled an earlier incident in Asaba, the Delta State capital, where supporters of the former Anambra State governor were reportedly attacked. One person was said to have lost their life, while several others sustained injuries.

The latest development has again raised concerns about the safety of political supporters attending public gatherings and campaign-related activities.

However, the identities of those behind the Lagos attack and the allegations concerning political sponsorship were not independently established in the report.

A video accompanying the report shows the supporters returning to the streets after the disruption, chanting in support of Obi and Kwankwaso.
