The crisis rocking the national leadership of the Labour Party (LP) surfaced in Benin City, Edo State on Friday as two ‘officials’ of the party identified as Anslem Eragbe and another whose identity could not be confirmed at the time of filing this report were seen in a viral video being beaten by some group of people in an unknown location but houses and vehicles could be sighted.
According to an X user, @TheSerahIbrahim, she claimed Edo youths had attacked and beat up the Labour Party faction members including the party’s factional youth leader, Eragbe Anslem.
Serah said in her post that the factional Labour Party members were attacked, beaten and hospitalised for allegedly defrauding youths in an attempt to hold the party’s governorship primary election in the state for the coming gubernatorial election.
