Police in Edo State on Saturday foiled an attempt by protesting youths to attack the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, in Benin.
Governor Godwin Obaseki and Oshiomhole have been locked in a bitter battle for the control of the state.
The police officers at the airport were forced to fire shots into the air after the protesters resisted their efforts to stop them. However, the placard-carrying protesters started arriving at the airport around 2pm chanting anti-Oshiomhole slogans. He accused the state government of sponsoring the protest despite the Chief Bisi Akande reconciliation committee set up by the party to resolve the crisis in the state.
