The secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) located in the Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State has been targeted in a violent raid by suspected political thugs.
The incident, which came to light on Wednesday, occurs approximately one week after a similar attack targeted NDC supporters in Enugu State, an assault that tragically claimed one life.
While official accounts confirm that no fatalities have been recorded from the Edo State secretariat raid, circulating video footage reveals significant damage to property and infrastructure within the facility.
Political observers note that this latest aggression fits into an escalating pattern of violent disruptions directed against opposition political assets as the country ramps up preparations for the 2027 general elections.
Civil society advocates and security analysts have voiced profound anxiety regarding the rise in political intolerance, warning that failure to curb these targeted assaults severely undermines the integrity of democratic competition.
In the video capturing the aftermath of the raid, an eyewitness and party sympathizer placed direct blame on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), stating, The last one happened in Enugu, where one person died. Now they have brought it to Edo. APC, your end is here.
