Police operatives in Abakaliki in Ebonyi State have been reportedly tear-gassed the organizers of a rally in support of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The rally, which was held on Saturday, is in preparation of the 2023 general elections.
organizers and their supporters had gathered along Mile 50 to embark on a rally to canvass support for their candidate but were stopped from going into the streets.
One of the supporters who spoke to Channels Television, Nwali Ikechukwu, said some persons were injured when the security agency came calling.
Meanwhile, the spokesman for the Ebonyi State Police Command, SP Chris Anyanwu, could not be immediately reached for comments.
In a related development, supporters of Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, staged a solidarity rally in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, on Saturday.
