Police disperses Obidients, other party at one-million-man march in Ebonyi

Supporters of Peter Obi of Labour Party and police clashed during a one-million-man march in Abakaliki, Ebonyi, on Saturday.

The  ‘Obidients’ were to take off from the People’s Club area but some thugs allegedly working for another party in the state, stormed the rally venue.

It was the police intervention, with teargas, that dispersed the rally.

The policemen were alleged to have claimed that their action was a directive from the Ebonyi State Government.

In a trending video, the youths could be seen running in different directions, with smoke from the teargas billowing.

However, it was gathered that the Obidients have regrouped at the Mile 50 area of the State from where they are going ahead with the rally.
