The ruling party in Benue State yesterday had its last local government campaign rally in the state which held at Gbajimba in Guma Local Government Area of the State. Despite all other rallies been peaceful, this trend was brought to an abrupt end yesterday. The rally, incidentally was held in the hometown of Former Minister and former PDP stalwart. Before take-off to the local government area, Hon Terhemen Tarzoor had advised all those travelling alongside not to respond to any taunts, provocations or incitements of any kind. Yet, on arrival, supposed APC youths and supporters crowded the access road to the rally venue and used their brooms to swipe across vehicles making their way to rally. On the insistence of the PDP gubernatorial aspirant, no one on his entourage reacted and everything seemed to be moving swiftly till an unknown youth with a broom in hand and sticks in another attacked the music truck demanding their quiet entry into the town. Numerous gun shots were heard and people scampered all over to take cover. Although no fatalities were recorded, several people sustained some minor injuries including a young man in his thirties, who sustained a head injury and was bleeding. The reason for the attack is yet to be verified, and those behind it unknown. Yet some have said "there are no coincidences" as such blame the friction between the two political parties in the state.
Find attached a pictures of the injured man and another of him been apologised to by the Deputy Governor of the State.

This is bad. Politics should not be a do or die game please.

God bless President GEJ.

Please let's avoid politics of bitterness.

We all have choice to any candidate we so desire.

Violence does no good. Nigeria shall overcome.

What is wrong with us sef!!! Why can't we practice politics without bitterness

Who is the fool that's using an injured,bleeding man to campaign when he shd av been rushed to the hospital;don't they know he can bleed to death?
The man himself is compliantly allowing himself to be used, when he dies now,they wud start accusing one witch in his village.
