The ongoing 2022 NationaI Convention of the All Progressive Congress (APC), at the popular Eagles Square, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has witnessed a large number of hoodlums, who invaded the Convention ground.
Following the morning stampede, PEOPLE AND POWER NewsMagazine observed the invasion of the arena by touts who allegedly over-powered several security agencies stationed at the entrance gate of the venue.
It was gathered that the hoodlums who came to make money from the big politicians were seen chanting party slogans and praise-singing the APC bigwigs and candidates.
It was also gathered that they broke into the venue resulting in the forceful opening of the gate. Many feared injured while some of the hoodlums were arrested and taken to the Police Force Headquarters for thorough interrogation and eventual prosecution.
Those allegedly arrested were the ones who forced their way through into the sub-venue, and started pickpocketing and dangerous weapons were recovered.
Though no death has been recorded; those who got injured are receiving treatment at the mobile clinic at the venue.
There are strong indications that the Convention may stroll till Sunday morning because of the late starting of the event.
Meanwhile, the security has been beefed up with more reinforcement of Police personnel and other security agencies at the venue who are doing their best to hunt down the suspected criminals.
