Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi has condemned the killing of a supporter during a political procession in Asaba, Delta State, and called for those responsible to face the law.

The incident, which involved members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Obidient Movement, reportedly left one person dead and five others injured.

The procession, organised by the Obidient/OK Movement in support of Obi’s presidential ambition, was held on Saturday along Nnebisi Road, where the confrontation occurred.

Obi said political participation should not expose citizens to attacks, intimidation or destruction of property. He called on the state government and security agencies to establish the circumstances surrounding the violence and ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.

The Delta State Police Command has commenced an investigation into the incident and reinforced security in the affected area, The Political Desk reported.
