Benue CP Clarifies NDC's Notification on Obi's Visit
Cletus Nwadiogbu, the Commissioner of Police in Benue State, addressed claims regarding the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi's visit to the state. Nwadiogbu stated that the NDC did not request him to notify Governor Hyacinth Alia about Obi's visit.
He explained that NDC members presented a letter to him after a visit to his office, informing him of Obi's planned arrival for security arrangements. The NDC delegation arrived late, around 5:30 pm, after initially stating they would come at 3 pm.
Nwadiogbu mentioned that they clarified Obi was not campaigning but required limited security personnel. Consequently, he arranged for three patrol teams, led by the Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of operations, to accompany Obi.
Nwadiogbu emphasized that transmitting the letter to the governor was not part of the NDC's request.
