During the last court’s sitting, police personal had to hurled tear gas to disperse the rampaging youths suspected to be supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress to avoid violent clash.
In a reaction through a press release signed by the Secretary General, Malam Nasiru Cigari, the APC youths Parliament condemned the negative development, alleging that the perpetrators were hired by the PDP and the governor.
Cigari claimed that the incident had unleashed fear on the APC lawyers, calling on the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mohammed Tanko to relocate the governorship election petition tribunal to Abuja for the safety of their lawyers and the panel of judges.
“The unfortunate incident resulted in the serious emotional instability and instilled fear on our lawyers and teeming supporters of APC in the state.
