He mentioned other victims of the ‘heightened harassment’ such as Rev. Ejike Mbaka, the spiritual director of the Adoration Ministry in Enugu; Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide.
“Since the advent of this election cycle we’ve seen and observed a heightened level of harassment of citizens via death threats, arson threats, verbal and now physical abuse against those who happen not to support Peter Obi’s candidacy,” Sowore’s statement reads in part.
While noting that the unconscionable act is not restricted to Obidients alone, citing a disabled supporter of Obi, who was recently beaten for displaying his support for Obi, he said the Obidients have demonstrated the most intolerance and harassment of opponents.
“We’ve seen supporters brandishing guns and threatening people who might not support Obi’s candidacy,” he added.
