How the Incident Happened
According to eyewitness accounts and statements from the Labour Party, the altercation began in the departure lounge of the Abuja airport while Abure was waiting to board a Max Air flight to Benin City.

Reacting swiftly, the Labour Party under Abure’s leadership issued a statement condemning the assault and calling for an immediate investigation by the Nigerian Police Force.
