No fewer than 12 people were injured and about eight vehicles were
vandalised on Thursday as supporters of the All Progressives Congress
and the Peoples Democratic Party clashed in Nasarawa State.
The incident, which started at the APC secretariat, occurred at about 1pm.
Trouble
started when one of the vehicles on Alhaji Yusus Agabis’ convoy, one of
the governorship aspirants in the state, who was on his way to the PDP
secretariat, was allegedly attacked.
This was said to have angered some PDP supporters, who vowed to attack the APC.
The
supporters reportedly pounced on a vehicle belonging to the APC,
leading to a free-for-all, in which several people were injured and
eight vehicles were vandalised.
The situation led to a heavy traffic
on the Jos-Makurdi road, leaving commuters, travelling through Lafia to
Makurdi, Enugu,Kano, Kaduna and Federal Capital Territory, stranded for
hours.
