Peter Obi’s convoy is blocked in Benue State as he moves through the area, with multiple outlets reporting that suspected youths or thugs obstruct the route. A video shared online shows a road being blocked, and the incident is described as occurring as the convoy attempts to enter the state, including along the Boko Road/Makurdi access routes.
Obi condemns the obstruction, with some reports tying it to protesters during a condolence visit and others describing alleged political thugs and security-related involvement. Daily Post and other outlets report police confirmation and say the Benue State Police Command launches an investigation, citing statements from the police public relations officer. Other coverage emphasizes the public reaction on the road, including chants calling on Obi to leave Benue, while some accounts focus on the confrontation and the moment the convoy is stopped.
Across the reports, the common elements are that the convoy is stopped in Benue, online videos circulate showing the blocked road and ensuing crowd actions, and security authorities confirm they are responding and investigating. Details vary on the exact group described—“suspected thugs” versus “protesters/youths”—and on whether additional figures are alleged to be involved.
