Politics of obvious and apparent
0:02
personal vendetta among some youths in
0:04
Edo state, which has been ongoing for
0:06
years, most especially since the
0:07
immediate former governor of the state,
0:10
Godwin Obiski, left office on November
0:12
12th, 2024, took a new twist on Sunday
0:16
night in the city of Manchester in the
0:18
United Kingdom. as a yet to be properly
0:20
identified man walked into an event hall
0:23
where the former governor Godwin Obiski
0:25
and his wife Betty were scheduled to
0:27
meet Edo people and attacked one of
0:29
their main political and media
0:31
supporters Albert Oazay who probably had
0:34
been in the bad books of some Edo
0:36
youth's sequel to his ways of always
0:38
defending the ex-governor Obaseeki and
0:40
exchanging words with those against the
0:43
exgovernor videos made available online
0:46
indicated that Albert Ober was attacked
0:48
while he was live streaming the event on
0:50
Facebook and other social media
0:52
platforms as guests were coming in and
0:54
waiting for the arrival of the former
0:56
Edeto state governor Godwin Obaseeki and
0:59
his wife Betty. Initially the suspected
1:02
attacker walked up to the victim and
1:05
asked to have a conversation with him
1:07
saying I am the double chief you are
1:09
looking for. Come let's talk but Albert
1:12
Ober refused and replied to the attacker
1:14
that you are the one looking for me.
1:16
What happened? As Albert Ober continued
1:19
to demand to know why the attacker had
1:21
decided to see him immediately the
1:24
attacker hit the victim on the face.
1:26
Manchester City police were seen
1:28
alongside their vehicles shortly after
1:30
the attack but the city police
1:33
department is yet to issue a statement
1:35
as at the time of filing in this report.
1:38
Albert Oazay in a Facebook live
1:40
streaming on Monday early morning night
1:42
at a hospital in Manchester said that
1:45
he's currently having difficulty with
1:47
hearing in one of his ears hit by the
1:49
attacker. On November 5th, 2025, while
1:53
on live Facebook video streaming, Albert
1:56
Ober had raised alarms of act of
1:58
possible threat to his life by a man
2:00
simply identified as double chief of
2:02
Manchester, who he said had threatened
2:04
to beat him repeatedly if he visited
2:06
Manchester to attend and organize the
2:08
Obaseeki thank you visit to his
2:10
supporters. Also during the live video,
2:13
Albert Ober narrated how he was almost
2:16
attacked by some Edo youths in Italy.
2:18
Thus described some Edo youths abroad as
2:21
people who always act like animals.
2:24
Before now, Albert Obaz may have faced a
2:27
lot of threats of possible attacks
2:29
issued by some Edo youths who also see
2:31
him as an enemy of the Benin monik
2:33
following the controversies surrounding
2:35
the establishment of Museum of the West
2:38
African Art Moir in Edeto state which
2:40
some youths protested and prevented the
2:42
commissioning of the multi-billion naira
2:44
cultural hub last two Sunday. an act
2:47
which led to foreign guests being
2:49
escorted to safety by the Nigeria Police
2:51
Force team personally led by the Edeto
2:53
state police commissioner. The continued
2:56
verbal attacks and insults on Albert
2:58
Ober and his family, especially his
3:00
biological parents, in reactions to the
3:03
political aids statements over the
3:05
controversies surrounding the Moir
3:07
establishment, made his younger brother,
3:09
Smart Over Zeta, issue a video statement
3:12
in recent days, and insulted his younger
3:14
brother's principal, ex-governor Godwin
3:16
Obiski, for allegedly endangering his
3:19
brother life and bringing all manners of
3:21
insults to their family, even when his
3:23
elder brother, Albert Oay, was never
3:25
given any political position during his
3:28
eight years as governor of Edeto state.
3:30
Smart Ober asked why must it always be
3:33
his brother Albert Obay defending and
3:36
receiving insults because of Obaseeki?
3:38
Why are the Obiski's family not coming
3:40
out to defend the ex-governor?
3:42
Exgovernor Godwin Obaseeki became an
3:45
issue of concerns for some youths in
3:46
Edeto state after some of the youths in
3:49
the state tagged the ex-governor as
3:51
betrayal saying they were the ones that
3:54
helped Obaseeki to power. But after
3:56
taking over as Edo state governor,
3:59
Godwin Obiski abandoned them and
4:01
allegedly brushed him aside in the
4:02
scheme of things, especially in the area
4:05
of tax collections from traders and
4:07
commercial drivers. During the time of
4:09
Godwin Obaseeki, the governor put a stop
4:12
to manual collection of taxes from
4:14
traders and commercial drivers and made
4:17
the method of tax collections
4:18
electronically. As such, some youths who
4:21
violated the governor's directives were
4:23
arrested and detained for days.
4:25
Some of the arrested and detained youths
4:27
were members of the governor's former
4:29
political party who believed they were
4:31
the ones that helped Obaseeki to power
4:33
during his first tenure as governor of
4:35
the state in the south south
4:37
geopolitical zone in Nigeria.
