The Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Peter Obi has decried the mindless attacks on his supporters in Nasarawa State that led to serious body harm on Joshua Alamu.
The attack took place on Saturday when supporters of Obi rallied in support of his presidential ambition.
One of Obi’s supporters, Jamilu Sufi posted a photo of Joshua who was seriously injured, as he was receiving treatment.
He wrote: “Dear @PoliceNG, Our attention has been drawn on the attack to Mr. Joshua Alamu, at Nasarawa State during @NgLabour sensitization yesterday, we call on you to protect the life of our citizen and bring perpetrators to book.”
The Labour Party’s presidential candidate decried the attack, saying the Nigerian civic and political space must remain open for the Nigerian people to exercise their Constitutional rights of freedom of assembly.
He said physical attacks on individuals exercising such rights is utterly unacceptable and must be condemned.
