BREAKING: Commotion as police teargas ‘Obidients in Ebonyi’, disperse rally

There is fracas in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State where the supporters of Peter Obi of Labour Party gathered, Saturday morning, for their one-million-man march.

It was learnt that Obi’s supporters, popularly called ‘Obidients’ were to take off from the People’s Club area but some thugs allegedly working for another party in the State, stormed the rally venue.

A source hinted that the police also moved in, threw teargas canisters, and dispersed the rally.
