TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) learnt that the election became violent after the TIC Chairman was declared the winner.
Michael Bulus told Daily Trust, that the election exercise which held on Thursday, was initially peaceful, but some delegates and PDP faithful who were denied access to the hall forced their way in and went straight to the TIC Chairman
Following the beating, Audu sustained severe injuries and was rushed out of Ba’ap, the headquarters of Qua’an Pan LGA, to an undisclosed location for medical attention.
Bulus said, “The mob beat up Hon Audu without mercy while complaining that he manipulated the process to emerge winner of the primaries.
“It was further alleged that Hon Audu handpicked his loyalists to be delegates at the election while blocking the real delegates from accessing the venue to exercise their franchise.”
The angry delegates also allegedly beat up officials of the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) who were present to oversee the election.
