Albert Obaze’s House Allegedly Attacked by Tony Kabaka, Thugs, Property Worth Millions Destroyed, Looted
The residence of Albert Obazee in Benin City has allegedly been attacked and vandalized by thugs said to be loyal to Tony Kabaka, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Albert who is based in the UK, is an entrepreneur, social activist, and vocal critic of government policies, particularly in Edo State. He is known for his bold commentaries on political accountability, governance failures, and police misconduct in Nigeria, using social media to amplify his critiques and mobilise public opinion.
The attack reportedly followed a verbal altercation on social media between Albert Obazee, who currently resides in the United Kingdom, and Tony Kabaka.
The dispute began after Albert posted a video on his social media page alleging that Kabaka had been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the mutilation of the naira.
In response, another social media blogger and APC member, Chris Osa visited Kabaka at his residence in Benin to verify the claim. Kabaka however confirmed that he had been invited and interrogated by the EFCC, effectively validating Albert’s report.
Infuriated by the publicity surrounding his arrest, Kabaka allegedly threatened to ruthlessly deal with Albert, vowing to attack his family home and inflict bodily harm on his parents to ‘send a message.’
Less than 48 hours after Kabaka’s threat, a group of armed thugs reportedly stormed Obazee’s house, breaking windows, ransacking the home and damaging other home items.
Property worth millions of naira, including electronics, furniture, and other household valuables, were said to have been carted away.
