DSS Arrests Suspect Linked to Attack on Peter Obi

The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested a suspect named Udem Sundai Stephen, believed to be linked to an attack on Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and other political figures in Edo State. The incident reportedly took place last Tuesday when Obi, along with ADC chieftain John Odigi Oyegun, was returning to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) secretariat for a formal welcome of the Labour Party's governorship candidate in Edo, Olumid Akpata.

The attack has raised concerns regarding the safety of political figures in the region, especially as the 2023 elections approach. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions and security challenges faced by political candidates in Nigeria.
