Tension disrupted what was meant to be a political celebration today during the homecoming event of Ovie Omo-Agege, where he officially declared his intention to contest for the Delta Central Senatorial District seat under the APC.
The event, which attracted supporters, party loyalists, and curious onlookers, reportedly took an unexpected turn when a disagreement broke out among a group of young men at the venue. What started as a verbal exchange quickly escalated into a physical clash, causing panic and momentarily disrupting proceedings.
Eyewitnesses said the altercation drew the attention of attendees, with some people attempting to separate those involved while security operatives moved in to restore order. Although calm was eventually restored, the atmosphere of the event was visibly affected by the incident.
The exact cause of the confrontation has not been officially confirmed, and it remains unclear whether it was politically motivated, a misunderstanding among supporters, or an internal disagreement that escalated out of control.
The incident has since gone viral after a video surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), shared by user @ChuksEricE, showing the chaotic moment as the scuffle unfolded in the crowd.
