Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Bala Dan Abu, confirmed the incident and condemned the “unfortunate bloodletting.”

“The deputy governor’s car and several other cars in the convoy, including that of the commissioner of police and a special Adviser to the governor, were damaged.

“They carried guns, cutlasses and sticks, which they displayed openly and in the full glare of security agents who merely looked the other way,” Abu said.

He also accused those he described as “APC thugs” of going round Jalingo metropolis and destroying PDP posters and billboards.



“They were given cover by the security agencies who fired gunshots to scare away those who may dare to confront them.

“What happened today is a big contrast to the PDP presidential flag-off of February 5 in Jalingo, which attracted a large crowd but recorded no incidence of crisis and deaths.
