Many Injured, Vehicles Damged As Thugs Attack Atiku’s Supporters In Gombe
Suspected thugs locally known as Kalare Boys, on Monday, invaded the presidential campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, in Gombe State.
CityNews Nigeria reports that the local gang attacked Atiku’s supporters who were at the campaign rally, leaving no fewer than three persons with varying degrees of injury.
It was gathered that trouble began after the former Vice President left with his entourage through Gate Number Two of Pantami Stadium for Bauchi state.
The Kalare boys, who were armed with cutlasses, swords, clubs, and other weapons, pounced on the PDP supporters, who were on their way to their respective homes.
The police, who were manning Gate Number One of the stadium, quickly dispersed a detachment of armed officers to the second gate to provide security for supporters, who were rushing back into the stadium for safety.
Many supporters were stranded at the stadium waiting for the police to restore peace and order as the Kalare boys blocked the route to Pantami Market and Government House, attacking passersby.
Some PDP women supporters had to attach themselves to police vans to avoid being attacked by the thugs along Pantami Stadium Road.
It was learned that three vehicles, a bus, a car, and one Keke NAPEP, were damaged in the incident.
