Delta State Government Investigates APC, NDC Clash
On September 18, 2026, the Delta State Government directed security agencies to investigate a violent clash that occurred between suspected supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area. This incident took place during an NDC campaign march, leading to accusations from an NDC leader that the APC and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori were behind the attack.
Charles Aniagwu, the State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, stated that Governor Oborevwori had mandated a thorough investigation and prosecution of anyone involved in the violence. The government reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on political violence, asserting that all political parties and their supporters have the right to campaign peacefully.
Aniagwu urged political leaders and supporters to adhere to the law and emphasized that political affiliation does not exempt individuals from legal consequences for violent actions.
