APC, PDP supporters clash in
Nasarawa, Three killed, Two
injured
The renewed determination by the Nasarawa
state House of Assembly on Monday to take their
impeachment procedure to logical conclusion
stirred up APC supporters against PDP leaving 3
persons dead and one person critically injured in
Dadere, Obi local government on Tuesday.
The crisis started when Hon. Sidi Bako, a member of
the Nasarawa House of Assembly decided to visit his
constituency.
PDP Supporters who came to welcome Sidi Bako,
who absconded his constituency since the
impeachment saga for fear of attack, were disrupted
by some APC supporters in the area who were not
comfortable with the development.
The reaction by APC supporters triggered some
angry PDP youths who felt demeaned and wanted to
take immediate action but were prevented by the
JTF who were deployed to the area to quell the
violence.
However the crisis took a different dimension when
some youths in the area got information that one of
their members were critically injured and decided to
take revenge on APC supporters who fled the area
leaving 3 people dead.
The police public relation ASP Numan Ismaila
confirmed to our correspondent in Lafia that three
bodies were recovered and one critically injured. He
said that the force has currently deployed officers to
the area for full investigation on the persons
involved in the trouble.
