The policemen attached to Ebonyi state police command on Saturday forcefully chased away supporters of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi in Abakaliki.
Obi’s supporters sustained different degrees of injuries during the rally to canvass support for their candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The supporters under the Obidient Movement were peacefully gathered at the Pastoral Centre in Abakaliki for the rally before they were teargassed by the police.
The LP’s supporters who were about 10,000 could not continue the exercise after they were teargassed by the law enforcement agency in the state.
Some of the participants narrated that the rally started early but was halted after law enforcement officers arrived and dispersed them with teargas.
