The Obidient Movement has publicly condemned an attack on members of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) in Warri, calling on security agencies to put an end to political intimidation in Delta State ahead of the 2027 elections.
The incident, which took place in the city of Warri, was described by the movement as a clear act of political harassment aimed at disrupting the activities of opposition groups. The statement was issued in the wake of rising concerns over the safety of political activists in the region.
In its appeal, the Obidient Movement urged the state and federal security forces to take decisive action to protect political actors and to ensure that the political climate remains free from intimidation and violence.
Delta State, located in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, has a long history of political competition and occasional unrest. The movement’s call comes as the state prepares for the 2027 general elections, a period that often sees heightened political activity.
While no further details about the attackers or the circumstances of the assault have been released, the condemnation underscores a broader demand for peaceful political engagement and the rule of law in the region.
