Angry youths yesterday attacked and set ablaze two campaign vehicles belonging to President Goodluck Jonathan at the old garage area of Suleja in Niger State.
The attack came few minutes after the party’s governorship campaign rally held in the town with party faithful in jubilation mood. The cause of the attack and the identity of the attackers were, however, not known, but a source said the hoodlums were sympathetic towards the All Progressives Congress (APC) who felt offended with the campaign songs emanating from the vehicle decorated with posters of the PDP governorship candidate.
It was also learnt that the timely intervention of the Nigerian military prevented the escalation of the situation as security officers condoned off the street in which the incident happened. Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Niger State Police Command, DSP Ibrahom Gambari, proved abortive. However, an eyewitness said no live was lost as the drivers took to their heels for safety.
