NDC Calls for Sanctions Over Political Violence in Enugu
The Enugu state chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has petitioned for international sanctions against individuals allegedly involved in political violence ahead of the 2027 elections. This demand follows an armed disruption of a ward meeting in Obuoffia, Nkanu West Local Government Area, where several members, including Ward Chairman Madueke Ngene and Youth Leader Maduka Ngene, were reportedly injured.
The NDC named a man identified as Odogwu, a Senior Special Assistant to the Nkanu West Local Government Chairman, Hon. John Chukwuma Ogbodo, as the alleged leader of the attack. The party has called for an independent investigation into the incident and the conduct of the council chairman, who allegedly welcomed suspects at the airport.
The NDC claims this incident is part of a broader pattern of violence against opposition activities and urges security agencies to act. They have appealed to international organizations, including the United States and the United Nations, to monitor the situation and impose appropriate measures against those involved.
