APC Meeting In Kaduna Disrupted By Thugs

Thugs Disrupt APC Meeting In Kaduna

The gathering of some members of the All Progressives Congress loyal to Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, representing the Kaduna North Senatorial District in the Senate was reportedly disrupted by suspected thugs on Sunday.

The thugs who were alleged to be ten in number, attacked the NUT End Well Hotel in Kaduna, the state capital, at about 3.15pm, attacking everyone in sight, including those that lodged in the hotel.

Although their was no report of any killing, five persons sustained injuries and were rushed to the Barau Dikko Specialists Hospital in the state capital.

The thugs who were armed, vandalised some properties of the hotel, while party members and supporters jumped through the windows and other emergency exit points.

Security operatives shot into the air to disperse the hoodlums.

Earlier while addressing members of the party from Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Hunkuyi insisted that congress must hold at the ward, local and state levels as against the alleged “planned selection of delegates through affirmation” in Kaduna State.

The lawmaker, who had earlier addressed a stakeholders’ meeting from the Southern Kaduna Senatorial District, noted that there was the need for a change of guard at the Kaduna Government House in 2019.

The senator said, “There have perfected plans to ensure that congresses do not hold in order to read out names to be affirmed as delegates by the government in power.
