At least one person has been reported killed during the inauguration of the Acting Chairman of the Bayelsa State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.

This comes after the violence that occurred at the venue of the event as many party supporters convened for the commencement of the ceremony.

Early reports indicate that the brawl was due to a factional clash between groups in the party.

Thugs allegedly loyal to the expelled party chairman in the state were said to have ambush the venue firing gunshots to scare the people away.
