This is indirectly a Lie from the pit of hell. Ramat square is for APC rally today with no connections to PDP members or structures. what actually happened was a commotion in the crowd as Buhari is leaving which resulted to stampede and killing 3 people. there was no fight between any opposition party. no PDP whatever there!

No fewer than six people amongst them were suspected members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) including asmhatic patients reportedly feared dead with several others injured in a stampede at the APC’s presidential campsign/rally held at the Ramat Square, Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.

Our Correspondent who was in the entourage of governor Shettima reports that six people were killed during the uncoordinated visit, as the governor had since visited the victims at the hospital.

The rally which was well attended on Saturday by the APC presidential Candidate, General Mohammed Buhari, his running mate, Professor Yemi Asibanjo, Governor Kashim Shettima, state and national candidates of the APC, party stalwarts and thousands of its supporters thronged the streets as early in the morning, while many others had jump over the fence to venue of the rally amidst tight security.

Our Correspondent observed that, due to closure of gates leading to the venue by security operatives, all the four gates were later broken down by some rampaging youths, even as many had to scale through the fence to welcome the general.

Sources said, the five people killed were two asmhatic patients who were trapped in the stampede at the venue, while others died as a results of accident and a stray bullet fired by security operatives while controlling crowded that attempted to burnt down PDP offices in the state.

Also the PDP Campaign office of ex- governor Ali Modu Sheriff located few metres to the venue of the rally along Kashim Ibrahim Way was set ablaze by APC thugs who overpowered security operatives after breaking the gate and threw explosives inside.

Many PDP campaign centres located at strategic positions in the city of Maiduguri were vandalized with posters and bill boards were also destroyed by hired APC thugs during the visit.

Likewise, four people who claimed to be members of Civilian JTF were shot by security operatives while attempting to stop two trucks loaded with military arms and ammunitions that were entering the town. Sources and residents said, the trucks were intercepted around Umar Shehu General Hospital in Bulumkutu of the metropolis and when the security men attached with the trucks insisted that the arms and ammunitions belonged to military operatives, the youths refused to heed to their explanations, a situation that led to disagreement which resulted to shooting of the four youths.

Our Correspondent also gathered that one of the youths that were shot died before reaching hospital for treatment due to excessive bleeding.
It was also gathered that at the venue of the rally, sporadic gunshots, including a sustained firing by the Military Armoured Personnel Carrier and tear gas engulfed the venue of the rally all in an attempt to control the crowd.

General Buhari who stormed the venue of the rally at 1:30pm could not address the uncontrolabble crowd, who started vandalizing Channels cables, stole their cameras which led to the instant cut off of the live coverage.
Our Correspondent observed that General Buhari had to be sneaked out of the venue to Government House, Maiduguri where he was expected to have indoor meeting with some Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) officials in the state.

While you are chastising APC supporters, see what PDP thugs have done today in Delta state.

"Hopes that Nigeria’s forthcoming 2015 General Elections will be violence-free has suffered a major setback as supporters of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) engaged those of the Labor Party in a bloody clash over rights to hold campaign rallies in Ugono-Orogun Community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

SaharaReporters gathered that a serving member representing Ughelli North I Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly Mr. Samuel Mariere(PDP) had led his supporters to the community to campaign for reelection when they were allegedly confronted by supporters of Mr. Ovie Omo-Agege, Delta Central Senatorial Candidate on the platform of the Labor Party (LP).

The encounter was said to have degenerated into a pandemonium when gun-wielding supporters of Mariere opened fire on Omo-Agege’s loyalists with one Oke Inana and two others severely wounded. They are said to be on life support machines at the Oghara Teaching Hospital at the time of this report.

A physically challenged indigene of the community, Mr. Julius Oderohwo told SaharaReporters that the violence was premeditated as Mariere came prepared for war in the company of persons he described as ‘armed thugs.’

Oderohwo, who disclosed that he suffered some wounds and trauma also called for the prompt prosecution of Mr. Mariere, a legislator who should obey the law and ought, not to encourage violence in any form. “I will take up the matter, and it will serve as a deterrent to other lawless politicians like Mariere,” he said.

Already the law firm of A.R. Erakpofoke & Co, Oderohwo’s Solicitors, have submitted a petition to the Area Commander of the Ughelli Area Police Command complaining against Mr. Mariere over “alleged murder and thuggery”.

In the petition titled “Acts likely to promote community war, attempted murder and thuggery as displayed by Mr. Samuel Mariere, member representing Ughelli North I in the State House of Assembly”, the complainant alleged that Mariere "Led his campaign train to Ugono-Orogun and when it was obvious that the people of the area did not show any interest in his campaign train, Mariere in total disappointment, ordered his armed political thugs to open fire on a group of spectators who had converged on the town square. The thugs like vexed and wounded lions, did not hesitate to open fire on the unarmed crowd. In the mayhem that ensued, several persons were injured including one Oke Inana and two others who are now lying critically ill at the Oghara teaching hospital.”

Although efforts were made to reach Mariere for reactions to the petition, all calls and SMS sent to his phone number were unanswered but one of his political associates who wanted his identity protected denied the story saying that it was the supporters of the Mr. Ovie Omo-Agege who ambushed the campaign train of Mariere adding they were lucky to have escaped unhurt.

Also reacting to the incident, Mr. Ovie Omo-Agege, who is contesting the Delta Central Senatorial election on the platform of the Labor Party, described Mariere as "a wicked liar, we all know the antecedent of Mariere that he is a violent politician who go about carrying armed thugs up and down. On that particular day of the incident, I was not in town but when I came I was told about the mayhem Mariere unleashed on his constituents. My cousin was among those shot by Mariere thugs and as we talk he is under intensive care, with life support machine. At the appropriate time, Mariere will face the law."

Like seriously, I don't see the importance of the Almajiri school Jonathan established up north.
You can imagine youths waking up in the morning and because they have been paid and destined to be thugs, march on to set fire on political offices and campaign grounds.
And someone said Nigeria can become any better than this? I don't think so.
I think a special programme should be organised for these babarians to teach them how politics is being done, the dos and don'ts.
I bet these guys have no idea of who Jonathan is, neither do they have an idea of the office Buhari is running for.
I personally don't care if they are killed. Rip to the innocent souls who lost their lives and the injured people. But the players behind this violent conduct should be killed over and over again.

I observed in Lagos that majority of APC supporters doesn't even know what they need in governance; when you them asked why APC? They are apt to answer CHANGE, while in the actual sense its the inglorious PAST they are soliciting. If the majority of APC supporters in Lagos are so unrefined, crude, raw and unprocessed, then one should expect more barbarism from their northern counterparts hence, their show of shame. BAT is really a shrewd businessman, he must have gotten them even cheaper to their bulls and cows.
