No fewer than 12 people were injured and about eight vehicles were vandalised on Thursday as supporters of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party clashed in Nasarawa State.
The incident, which started at the APC secretariat, occurred at about 1pm.
Trouble started when one of the vehicles on Alhaji Yusus Agabis’ convoy, one of the governorship aspirants in the state, who was on his way to the PDP secretariat, was allegedly attacked.
This was said to have angered some PDP supporters, who vowed to attack the APC.
The supporters reportedly pounced on a vehicle belonging to the APC, leading to a free-for-all, in which several people were injured and eight vehicles were vandalised.
The situation led to a heavy traffic on the Jos-Makurdi road, leaving commuters, travelling through Lafia to Makurdi, Enugu,Kano, Kaduna and Federal Capital Territory, stranded for hours.
