At least 74 people were hospitalised, and over 100 vehicles were vandalised, as hoodlums from various political parties clashed when the PDP’s Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, stormed Maiduguri for a campaign rally.
Dino Melaye, the PDP Spokesperson, revealed this during a party rally in Maiduguri.
He pointed an accusing figure on the All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to stop their campaign in the state by deploying thugs to attack them.
He said “They deployed their thugs to attack our convoys with stones, sticks, machetes as we left the Shehu’s Palace to come to the Ramat Square, all in an attempt to stop our rally.” Dino said.
He lamented that the “thugs were deployed in many strategic locations to attack our supporters. But we want to assure them that nobody can stop us.
