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.
