Delta orders probe as NDC, APC supporters clash

The Delta State Government has ordered a probe into a violent clash between supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) during an NDC campaign event in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area. The conflict reportedly led to a viral video showing the incident, prompting authorities to condemn the violence and emphasize that political rivalry should not lead to thuggery or intimidation. An NDC leader alleged that the APC and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori sponsored the attack, though this claim was not independently verified. State Commissioner for Works and Public Information, Charles Aniagwu, confirmed that Governor Oborevwori instructed security agencies to investigate the incident thoroughly. The government reiterated its commitment to ensuring peaceful political campaigning and stressed that political affiliation does not exempt individuals from legal accountability.
