BREAKING: Police teargas, disperse Obi ers in Ebonyi

The Police in Ebonyi State on Saturday violently dispersed residents who gathered in Abakaliki, capital to stage a one-million man match in of Labour Party(LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The Obidient movement, as the ers are popularly called, had gathered at the Pastoral Centre, Abakaliki for the march when police stormed the area and dispersed them with teargas.

The incident caused human and vehicular traffic on the popular Old Enugu road in the capital city on Saturday morning.

One of the ers, Steve Ugama, alleged aside dispersing and tear-gassing the ers, about five of his colleagues have been arrested by the police.

He said: “This is inhuman and undemocratic. We have gathered here this morning for our peaceful March, all of a sudden, the police came and started tear-gassing us and arresting our people.

“They said we can’t hold the march, because Governor David Umahi asked them to stop us, that we can’t hold it. About four or our colleague have been arrested. We need help here.”

However, the ers later regrouped in another part of the town and continued the march.

At the time of this report, they were seen on the Enugu-Abakaliki highway.

This is unacceptable

Even though Dave Umahi said Ebonyi is APC

He should allow others to exercise themselves for the sake of freedom of movement .

Wow... Be safe guys

We'd wait to hear the full story , we how enemies of state ( IPOB agents ) were disguised amongst peaceful protester to cause havoc during endsars if not for proactive dispersion they'd have caused Lagos more havoc.

Youngzedd:



You're right like shoprite. And IPOB went and removed the cameras at Lekki Toll gate and shot many youths dead that night.



May their blood of our people that died by IPOB guns cry on your head.

How about the victims of IPOB/UGM carnage caused by the destruction of state security architecture, are you happy with their bloods on your hands ?

Did you people get permit? No be to Dey gather for road like hoodlums disturbing the peace of the public, moreover campaign never start

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Umahi should be careful

The Police will put themselves at the receiving end of peoples anger again as was the case during The ENDSARS. They're overreaching.

The Nigerian Police is irredeemably Evil! People are just walking and you're already firing tear gas! For what? Are you The Police of the people or The Police of one Buhari!?

The biggest mistake the establishment will ever make in this country is to underate the anger oof the ordinary people of this country.
People are tired an are just hoping on the elections to bring in some hope!
The two candidates of the two major parties are all uninspiring.

If the government moves against the only candidate that has brought hope and energy into this campaigns, the reactions from the people might ultimately instigate a chain of actions that will unravel this lugardian contraption.

We have told them severally that Ebonyi and Imo states are not for disobedient miscreants (aka) IPOB terrorists..

Weldone the police for making Ebonyi State safe.

David Umahi is a little tyrant that doesn't know what democracy means. They can try but they can never silence us.

They will scare people away but the mandate have been set on lock...

Campaign is yet to even start......dis ppl r using their match to disturb others and to constitute nuisance up and down

Thunder fire Governor Dave Umahi

Dave Umahi and Hopeless Ozodimgba, two enemies within

We shall address Una matter at the appropriate time

Peter Obi locked up Nasir El Rufai in a toilet when he came to campaign for his party in Anambra during the former's rule as governor. Obi has a history of opposition crackdown. Not to mention that most of Obi's ers are IPOB who are already proscribed by the Federal government. Umahi has a good argument if this actually came from him.

EndSars hooligans are not needed in Ebonyi.
Ebonyi is the infrastructure capital of SE. Obidient hooligans keep off. Arsonist ain't allowed.

AWON IPOB don dey collect wotowoto
