Police detain Peter Obi's supporter Mama P in Edo
The assault on Julius Abure by Precious Oruche unfolded from Abuja airport to Benin amid ongoing Labour Party leadership crisis and political tensions, party officials said.
- On Friday at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Julius Abure, the Labour Party’s factional national chairman, was confronted and assaulted by Precious Oruche.
- The attack occurred amid ongoing party leadership disputes, with a Supreme Court ruling on 4 April 2025 setting aside the Court of Appeal’s affirmation of Abure’s chairmanship.
- The assault continued during a Max Air flight to Benin and at Benin Airport until security operatives intervened to protect Abure and hand Oruche to police custody.
- Labour Party spokesperson Obiora Ifoh called the incident 'a suicidal aggression,' alleged political sponsorship, and urged calm while calling for a thorough police investigation.
- Following her arrest, Oruche was detained at Edo State Police Headquarters in Benin City, highlighting tensions within the party and potential legal repercussions for involved parties.
