Deeone criticises Peter Obi over Edo incident
Comedian Deeone has criticised the former presidential candidate, Peter Obi over the February 24, 2026 incident in Benin City, Edo State.
According to reports, gunmen driving Sienna vehicles allegedly trailed Obi’s convoy from the secretariat of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the residence of former All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun.
Sources say the attackers opened fire upon the convoy’s arrival at the residence, riddling the estate gate with bullets and damaging several vehicles. Obi was reportedly already inside the premises at the time of the shooting and was unharmed.
The visit was said to be part of a political engagement in which Obi was receiving former Labour Party governorship candidate Olumide Akpata and his supporters into the ADC.
