There was pandemonium in Kasuwan Ali community, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State on Sunday as a resident was shot dead at the venue of the All Progressives Congress, APC, House of Representatives primary election.
GISTSMATE MEDIA gathered that the man shot dead is identified as Sani Abdullahi.
According to Daily Trust, the victim was gunned down by soldiers after a disagreement over the commencement of the exercise.
A resident who confirmed the incident to Daily Trust, Ibrahim Sale, said trouble started when some APC members protested the delay in the commencement of the primary earlier scheduled for Saturday.
“The exercise was supposed to hold on Saturday morning, but it didn’t take place because of the absence of returning officers. So the youths started protesting, alleging that the delay was deliberate.
“As this was going on, government officials who came to witness the exercise decided to leave because of the absence of the electoral officers. But some youths blocked the road to prevent the officials from leaving the venue.
“The youths insisted they would not leave until electoral officers arrived to conduct the primary. This drew the attention of security personnel, who moved in to disperse them.
“As soon as the security personnel arrived, the youths started throwing stones at them. The soldiers then started shooting, and a stray bullet hit the victim,” Sale said.
