EKO HOT BLOG reports that there was pandemonium at Ranches Bees Stadium as suspected political thugs attacked supporters of the presidential flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar at the ongoing campaign rally in Kaduna State.
The thugs who also displayed dangerous weapons like machetes and sticks threw stones at the crowd at the venue.
An eyewitness saw people running in different directions.
The former vice president confirmed this in a post on his verified social media handles on Monday.
This is coming a few days after thugs attacked supporters of the party in Zamfara State leading to the death of at least one person, while several others were injured.
Atiku, in the post, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to call supporters of all political parties to order in a bid to tackle the reoccurrence of such an incident.
He wrote, “I have just received emergency reports of attacks on PDP supporters by thugs sponsored to scuttle the ongoing PDP campaign rally in Kaduna State. This is undemocratic and against the Peace Accord all parties signed up for just a few weeks ago.
“I urge President Muhammadu Buhari to call on all parties to call their supporters and members to order and to ensure that campaigns, just as with the elections themselves, are kept free, fair, and safe”.
Casualties recorded during the attack could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.
