NDC Buries Ifeanyi Nwolie, Vows to Seek Justice in 2026

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) held the burial of Ifeanyi Nwolie, who was shot by suspected political thugs during an attack on the party’s campaign office in the GRA area of Enugu State. Nwolie, aged 43 and a native of Affa in the Udi Local Government Area, succumbed to his injuries on October 12, 2026, two days after the attack on October 10.

The burial was attended by NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi and governorship candidate Christian Ohaa, who led a delegation of party officials and supporters. In a statement, Ohaa emphasized that Nwolie’s death would not be in vain and confirmed that he had personally covered Nwolie's hospital bill of over N5 million and burial expenses.

The NDC reiterated its commitment to seeking justice for Nwolie and all victims of political violence in Enugu State. The incident is part of a troubling pattern of political violence in the region, with ongoing investigations into related attacks.
