Hoodlums, on Wednesday, attacked the convoy of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
The spokesperson of the PDP presidential candidate, Dino Melaye, who disclosed the attack, said 74 persons were injured, adding that several vehicles were vandalised by the hoodlums.
Melaye, who accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being responsible for the attack, said the move was to stop the opposition party’s campaign in Borno State.
