Keyamo Accuses NDC Thugs of Violence in Delta State
Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, alleged that on September 18, 2026, suspected thugs affiliated with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) attacked his community in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State. Keyamo claimed the attackers destroyed campaign billboards associated with Tompolo’s door-to-door Campaign Organization and looted shops while armed with dangerous weapons.
He expressed concern over the muted response to this incident compared to similar political violence against members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that if the roles were reversed, there would be a louder outcry from the press and human rights groups. Keyamo compared this incident to the blockade of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi’s entourage in Benue State, asserting that the violence in Delta was more severe.
He alleged that law enforcement officers accompanied the attackers and announced plans to submit a petition to the Inspector-General of Police for an investigation, urging his supporters against taking the law into their own hands.
