One person was killed in Jigawa State on at a campaign rally of the All Progressive Congress APC in the Kazaure Local government area of the state.
The state police commissioner, Emmanuel Ekot Effiong explained that the police are trailing the suspected killer who was said to have fled to the neighbouring Kano state after committing the crime.
“The police are on top of the situation, the prime suspect has fled to Kano. It’s a conflict within a party faithful to a particular candidate that disagrees among themselves. They are members of the same APC not a conflict between two parties”
The state Governor Badaru Abubakar led the APC governorship campaign rally in Kazaure where the violent clash between rival youth groups of the APC supporters led to the death of one person.
