GUNSHOTS AND STABBING AS VIOLENCE ERUPTS AGAIN AT THE APC PRESIDENTIAL WOMEN AND YOUTH COMPAIGN RALLY IN OWERRI.
Many
APC supporters were injured as violence broke out at the presidential
rally for Women and Youth in the IMO state capital, Owerri earlier on
January 12, 2019
Nigeria’s current president, and presidential candidate of the APC Muhammadu Buhari and his wife Aisha were surprisingly absent.
Their
absence may not be unconnected with security reports which indicated
that the type of mayhem that occurred in Lagos may be repeated at
today’s event.
Instead, the Wife of the President insisted the wife of the Vice President, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo represent her at the event.
Trouble started when supporters of the Uzodinma and Okorocha factions clashed.
The brawl which lasted several minutes, was only contained after an exchange of gunfire.
Many
are reported to have suffered a variety of injuries including Stab
wounds and gunshot injuries but no one has been reported dead.
