Labour Party’s factional national chairman, Julius Abure, was allegedly attacked on Friday by activist and content creator Precious Oruche, popularly known as Mama Pee, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
According to a statement issued on Saturday by the party’s national publicity secretary, Obiorah Ifoh, the incident occurred while passengers were waiting to board a Max Air flight to Benin, Edo State.
Mr Ifoh said the altercation did not end at the terminal. Oruche allegedly continued harassing Mr Abure during the flight despite repeated interventions from the cabin crew.
“The attacker, Madam P, who is also a known content creator, continued the attack all through the flight, defying all attempts by the Max Air attendants to calm her. The assault, which attracted a large crowd, continued on disembarkation at the Benin Airport while she kept recording the scene,” Ifoh said.
On arrival in Benin, Abure was escorted to safety, while security operatives apprehended Oruche. Police authorities in Edo State later confirmed that she is in custody.
