Riot in Ibadan as President Jonathan Visits Flood Victims

 

Riot broke out at Ibadan yesterday between supporters of the PDP and the ACN during Pres. Goodluck Jonathan's official visit to the state to commiserate with Governor Abiola Ajimobi on the flood that ravaged Ibadan.

 

Trouble started when security men disallowed some of the party supporters to gain access into the airport. The parties allegedly engaged themselves by singing inciting songs. Some members of the ACN were said to have taken umbrage against what they described as ‘illegal anti party rally’ held by the PDP at the airport. 

 

The PDP supporters on the other hand were said to have started singing and dancing to incite the ACN supporters.

This resulted into fracas as supporters allegedly mobilised their members against each other, using weapons such as stones, clubs, sticks and charms.
