00:00Politics of obvious and apparent personal vendetta among some youths in Edo State which has been ongoing for years most especially since the immediate former governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki left office on November 12, 2024 took a new twist on Sunday night in the city of Manchester in the United Kingdom, as a yet to be properly identified man walked into an event hall where the former governor, Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betty were scheduled to meet Edo people,
00:28and attacked one of their main political and media supporters, Albert Obasei, who probably had been in the bad books of some Edo youths sequel to his ways of always defending the ex-governor Obaseki and exchanging words with those against the ex-governor.
00:43Videos made available online indicated that Albert Obasei was attacked while he was live streaming the event on Facebook and other social media platforms as guests were coming in and waiting for the arrival of the former Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betty.
01:00Initially, the suspected attacker walked up to the victim, and asked to have a conversation with him, saying,
01:08I am the double chief you are looking for, come let's talk, but Albert Obasei refused and replied to the attacker that,
01:14you are the one looking for me, what can happen, as Albert Obasei continued to demand to know why the attacker had decided to see him, immediately, the attacker hit the victim on the face.
01:26Manchester City Police were seen alongside their vehicles shortly after the attack, but, the City Police Department is yet to issue a statement as at the time of filing in this report.
01:37Albert Obasei in a Facebook live streaming on Monday early morning night at a hospital in Manchester, said that,
01:45he's currently having difficulty with hearing in one of his ears hit by the attacker.
01:49On November 5th, 2025, while on live Facebook video streaming, Albert Obasei had raised alarms of act of possible threat to his life by a man simply identified as double chief of Manchester who he said had threatened to beat him repeatedly if he visited Manchester to attend and organize the Obaseki thank you visit to his supporters.
02:11Also, during the live video, Albert Obasei narrated how he was almost attacked by some Edo youths in Italy, thus, described some Edo youths abroad as people who always act like animals.
02:24Before now, Albert Obasei may have faced a lot of threats of possible attacks issued by some Edo youths who also see him as an enemy of the Benin monarch following the controversies surrounding the establishment of Museum of the West African Art,
02:38Mowar in Edo State which some Edo youths protested and prevented the commissioning of the multi-billion Naira cultural hub last two Sunday,
02:46an act which led to foreign guests being escorted to safety by the Nigeria Police Force team personally led by the Edo State Police Commissioner.
02:55The continued verbal attacks and insults on Albert Obasei and his family especially his biological parents in reactions to the political aid statements
03:04over the controversies surrounding the Mowar establishment, made his younger brother, Smart Obasei to issue a video statement in recent days
03:13and insulted his younger brother's principal, ex-governor Godwin Obaseki for allegedly endangering his brother life
03:19and bringing all manners of insults to their family even when his elder brother, Albert Obasei was never given any political position
03:27during his eight years as governor of Edo State. Smart Obasei asked why must it always be his brother, Albert Obasei defending
03:35and receiving insults because of Obaseki, why the Obaseki's family not coming out to defend the ex-governor.
03:42Ex-governor Godwin Obaseki became an issue of concerns for some youths in Edo State after some of the youths in the state tagged the
03:50ex-governor's betrayal, saying, they were the ones that helped Obaseki to power, but, after taking over as Edo State Governor,
03:59Godwin Obaseki abandoned them and allegedly brushed them aside in the scheme of things especially in the area of tax collections
04:06from traders and commercial drivers. During the time of Godwin Obaseki, the governor put a stop to manual collection of taxes
04:14from traders and commercial drivers, and made the method of tax collections electronically, as such,
04:20some youths who violated the governor's directives, were arrested and detained for days. Some of the arrested
04:26and detained youths were members of the governor's former political party who believed they were the ones
04:31that helped Obaseki to power during his first tenure as governor of the state in the south-south geopolitical zone
04:38in Nigeria.
