Thugs attack Atiku’s convoy in Borno

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.

He stated that the thugs attacked the convoy of the former Vice President after leaving the palace of Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Garbai, with stones, sticks, and machetes.

“They deployed their thugs to attack our convoys with stones, sticks, machetes as we left the Shehu’s Palace to come to the Ramat Square, all in an attempt to stop our rally.

“But we want to assure them that nobody can stop us,” the former senator said.
