 The Oyo State police command, on Saturday debunked the news of an assassination attempt on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party and former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi during his presidential rally in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

While the state police command advised the leadership of political groups in the state to prevail on their supporters against approaching campaign grounds with dangerous objects in a bid to enforce dominance, he also warned that; “the command would deal decisively with defaulters through appropriate sanctions in strict accordance with the laws of the land.”

The police boss said the suspect had been charged to court to explain the reason behind his action, saying, “Further updates would be provided accordingly, please.”
