Peter Obi survived an assassination attempt in Benin City on Feb. 24, 2026, during a political event, sparking concerns over Nigeria’s rising political violence.
On February 24, 2026, Peter Obi, leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), survived an armed attack at the Benin City residence of former APC chairman John Odigie-Oyegun, following a political event welcoming Labour Party gubernatorial candidate Olumide Akpata into the ADC.
Witnesses and ADC officials said armed men followed Obi’s convoy from the party’s secretariat, opened fire at the estate gate, damaged vehicles, and attempted an assassination.
The incident, which occurred amid heightened political tensions and a prior warning from Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo, has raised alarms over rising political violence and the safety of public figures in Nigeria.
Obi and ADC leaders condemned the attack as a threat to democracy and vowed to pursue justice, while security agencies have not yet confirmed details.
