There was an outbreak of violence at the headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Monday. A large number of youths arrived the secretariat of the party where APC leaders are holding a meeting over the Kogi state election.

 They came in buses marked ‘Dekina’, a local government area in the‎ state. On sighting Yahaya Bello, who arrived at 2:48pm, they went out of control, attempting to attack him. It took the effort of security agents to smuggle Bello from their midst.

After Bello was rescued, they s‎tarted hurling missiles and using big sticks to beat up one another. Security personnel have restored calm but broken windshields of cars are the scene of the chaos.
