Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central at the National Assembly, has called for a thorough investigation into the recent attack on Peter Obi and other members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the incident as troubling and unacceptable.

Koikimedia reports that Obi was targeted in a gunfire attack on Tuesday at the residence of former Edo State Governor and current ADC chairman in the state, Chief John Odigie Oyegun.

In a strongly worded statement, Akpoti-Uduaghan urged security agencies to act swiftly in identifying and prosecuting those responsible, stressing that political violence has no place in a democratic society.

She warned that “failure to address such incidents could undermine public confidence in the nation’s electoral and security systems” and emphasized that all political actors, regardless of party affiliation, deserve protection and the freedom to engage with citizens without fear of intimidation or harm.

The senator highlighted that ensuring safety is critical to sustaining Nigeria’s democracy and called for calm among citizens while authorities carry out investigations, reaffirming the need for unity and respect for democratic values.

The attack on Obi and other ADC leaders has sparked nationwide concern, with Nigerians condemning the violence and demanding justice.
