NDC Meeting Attack: Eight Injured in Enugu Violence
On 15 September 2026, eight members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) were reported to have sustained gunshot injuries when suspected political thugs attacked their monthly ward meeting in Obuofia, Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State. The victims included Onovo Donald Ekene, Ngene Godwin Madueke, Ogbodo Gloria, Onovo Victor, Maduabuchi Ugwu, Nnaemeka Nelson, Chinonso Nwagbara, and Obinna Daniel Owo.
The attack occurred last Saturday afternoon while members were chanting support for the NDC. The Enugu State Police Command confirmed the disruption of the meeting by armed hoodlums who fired sporadically, injuring two attendees.
Following the incidents, Commissioner of Police Mamman Bitrus Giwa ordered a thorough investigation. Ohaa condemned the attack as a violation of constitutional rights and vowed that the NDC would not be intimidated in their campaign for the 2027 elections.
The police noted that there was no prior request for security coverage for the gatherings.
