Pandemonium broke out on Monday at the venue of the presidential campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State following the arrest of some suspected thugs who engaged themselves in a bloody clash.

The rally was held at the Moshood Abiola International Stadium in Abeokuta, the state capital.

The face-off between suspected thugs came as thousands of APC supporters and those of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) arrived at the venue.

Allies of the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, who were denied tickets by the APC are running on the tickets of the APM and are being backed by the governor who himself is a senatorial candidate of the APC.

Both parties are, however, backing Mr Buhari for reelection.

The clash started as thousands of party faithful awaited the arrival of President Muhammed Buhari and other leaders of the APC who attending another rally in Ilorin, Kwara State.
