Thursday, October 15, 2026 - Unknown thugs have reportedly attacked the secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State.
The attack, which was reported on Wednesday, comes barely
one week after NDC supporters were attacked in Enugu, resulting in the death of
one person.
At the time of filing this report, no casualties had been
reported in the Edo attack, but footage of the incident showed that properties
at the secretariat were damaged.
It was gathered that the incident marks the latest in a
series of violent disruptions targeting opposition political infrastructure
across the state.
There are growing concerns over political intolerance
and targeted intimidation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Civil society groups and political analysts have expressed
alarm over the recurring attacks on party secretariats, warning that unchecked
political violence threatens the credibility of the democratic process.
In the video showing the damaged secretariat, a woman
accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of being behind
the incident.
“The last one happened in Enugu, where one person died. Now
they have brought it to Edo. APC, your end is here,” she said in the video.
