BREAKING: Anambra Suspends Traffic Officers Who Sang Obi/Kwankwaso Campaign Song

Nov 11,2026



The Anambra State Traffic Management Agency (ATMA) has allegedly suspended some of its officers who went viral recently after singing a campaign song in support of the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Peter Obi, and his running mate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.


The affected staff were suspended for two months without pay.


Investigations disclosed that the management handed down the suspension of the officers on Tuesday, Nov 10, 2026.


Their suspension media investigation disclosed,bwas as a result of the controversy generated by a viral video showing the officers singing NDC campaign song, associated with Peter Obi and Kwankwaso, to motorists.


Eye witnesses stated that unfortunate event took place at Nwagu Junction area of Agulu, Anaocha Council of Anambra State.


That point was where the officers were deployed for traffic control duties.


Following the encounter the  officers were summarily rounded up and summoned to the agency’s Awka headquarters in Awka.


They were required to explain their misconduct and the circumstances surrounding the incident.


Their suspension was suspected to be part of disciplinary process by the agency to the culprits as a result of the mass circulation of the video.


When contacted for comments, the ATMA commander declined any statement.


Though the circumstances surrounding the whole misdemeanor it's unclear what led to the viral unfortunate act.


It was said their behavior was instigated on the spur of the moment when they  saw a passing vehicle bearing NDC logo and blaring loudspeakers. So the young operatives got carried away and happily joined the chorus.


The suspended officers were visibly displeased and looking very worried.


Some of them were in tears and have been reaching out to several influential citizens to help intercede on their behalf.


Meanwhile, relatives of the affected officers have appealed to public-spirited individuals to come to their aid by helping them secure alternative employment opportunities in view of their present circumstances.


The relatives reportedly fear that the suspension, particularly without pay, could worsen the families' economic situation particularly at critical yuletide season.
