UPDATED: APC CONVENTION: Stampede As Security Men Teargas Delegates, Journalists, Others
Save Our Nation (SON)
March 26, 2022
There is apparently poor crowd control at the venue of the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention at the Eagles Square in Abuja, on Saturday afternoon.
Despite providing accreditation to journalists and delegates to attend the convention, the party and its officials were having a difficult time allowing accredited persons into the venue of the convention.
Security operatives manning the adjoining roads to the venue and even the entrance of the Eagles Square were apparently overwhelmed by the crowd.
Apparently frustrated, the security operatives resorted to manhandling of delegates, journalists and others whose purpose of coming was not clear.
Our correspondent was teargassed in the ensuing stampede caused by the security operatives, who were hitting people with batons while his phone fell off or outrightly stolen in the melee.
