A group of armed men rushed a campaign event in Nigeria on Thursday, attacking journalists and supporters of opposition candidate Peter Obi at a political rally two months before the country's January 16, 2027, presidential election . Videos uploaded to social media captured the mid-morning incident, showing men armed with axes, clubs and machetes barging into an event center in Lagos, where they attacked supporters of Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Obi. Supporters, who vowed they would not be intimidated, blamed the attack on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). APC spokesman Felix Morka rejected the claim, citing a lack of evidence.
