Angry Youths Brutalise Man For Destroying Peter Obi's Campaign Posters In Enugu

In what will come across as a really startling development, some angry Nigerian youths have beaten a man to a pulp in Enugu.

The angry mob on Friday descended heavily on a supporter of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the University Town of Nsukka, Enugu State, for allegedly destroying the campaign posters of the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi.

The incident it was gathered happened at Total Filling Station in Nsukka Town.

In a video of incident shared on some WhatsApp platforms, the man, wearing white T-shirt and trousers adorned with PDP logos and Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's face, was being beaten along the road by a crowd of young people.

A background voice was narrating, "This man, this PDP man tear Obi's Posters. The crowd also asked him to sing Obi songs."

A short note attached to the video reads, "Happening in Sitting Governor's Enclave Right Now* _@ Total Filling Station in Nsukka Town, Enugu State Nigeria this Night.
