Arrests Made in Enugu Over NDC Meeting Attack
Hon. Uchenna Sunday A. Igwesi, a former member of the House of Representatives, and Igwe Obiora Igwesi, a traditional ruler, were arrested in connection with an alleged attack on a Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ward meeting in Enugu State on September 12, 2026.
The arrests occurred on September 22, following a directive from the Inspector-General of Police, with the operation conducted by detectives from the Zone 13 Command in Ukpo, Anambra State. A petition submitted by Chief G.
Tagbo Ike, SAN, on behalf of the NDC ward accused the suspects of various offenses, including conspiracy to commit a felony and unlawful possession of firearms. The meeting, attended by party members as part of their grassroots activities for the 2027 general elections, was reportedly disrupted when a convoy passed by, and threats were allegedly made by Igwe Igwesi before gunfire erupted.
Eight individuals were identified as victims of the shooting, including Hon. Donald Onovo and Hon. Maduka Ngene.
