Enugu Government Addresses NDC Rally Incident Claims
The Enugu State Government, represented by Secretary to the State Government Chidiebere Ọnyia, responded to claims of its involvement in incidents on October 10, 2026, involving members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) at Akanu Ibiam International Airport and the party's state secretariat. Ọnyia explained that the confrontation at the airport occurred when the NDC attempted to hold a rally without the necessary approval from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). He stated that the police had advised the party to secure this approval before proceeding.
Despite this, the NDC mobilized members to the airport, leading to a confrontation with airport authorities, which required intervention from security agencies. Regarding the incident at the NDC secretariat, Ọnyia confirmed that a member, Ifeanyi Nworie, sustained gunshot injuries and was receiving treatment at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu.
The government dismissed reports of any fatalities.
