Some supporters of President
Muhammadu Buhari clashed at the Eagle Square in Abuja on Tuesday.
The aggrieved youth were to
attend a rally in support of Buhari’s re-election bid but trouble started when
souvenirs were being distributed by the organisers.
Some protested that those in
charge of the distribution were not fair.
Efforts to restore normalcy did
not yield the desired result as they hit at one another with sticks and other
dangerous objects.
The melee lasted over two hours.
Dignitaries who attended the
rally fled the venue to avoid being caught in the confusion.
The president was at an All
Progressives Congress (APC) mega rally in Ekiti when the incident happened.
Buhari led top members of the APC
to campaign for Kayode Fayemi, candidate of the APC in the July 14 governorship
election.
The last time a similar incident
happened at Eagle Square was during the national convention of the APC.
Delegates from Imo state exchanged
blows while Buhari was reading his speech at the occasion.
