The ongoing supplementary governorship election in Kano state has turned violent as three people have been injured in a clash involving supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and those of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to Dailytrust, voting was made impossible for supporters of a particular political party as weapon carrying thugs were all over, intimidating anyone that shows sympathy to that party.
The report hinted that one Dahiru Sa’ad lost a tooth during a clash at Masaka polling unit Kano, while the person who dared to vote for that party at Masaka polling unit, Dala local government lost two teeth as a consequence.
Police were reportedly present but could not control the situation.
Almost all of the youths at the unit wore APC’s polling agent tag. Some of the voters said anybody perceived to be from opposition party is attacked. Presently the situation at the unit is very tense.
The report observed a brazen display of weapons by supporters of both parties.
Meanwhile, at Nahadatu polling unit at Gwammaja Ward, there are fears of likely clash due to massive infiltration of hired thugs into the voting point.
