The government-backed thugs attacked the Kaduna State Transitional Leadership meeting at Conference Hall of NUT Endwell in Magadishu Layout.
A group of state government-hired thugs have attacked the transition meeting of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna town, injuring several persons.
It was learnt that the SDP and ADC coalition meeting was held under the leadership of Malam Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of the state.
The government-backed thugs attacked the Kaduna State Transitional Leadership meeting at Conference Hall of NUT Endwell in Magadishu Layout.
It was gathered that some members were attacked and had severe injuries from the thugs while the windscreens of several vehicles including that of El-Rufai were destroyed, and some windows of the conference hall.
The thugs attacked the venue in the presence of armed policemen earlier deployed by the government to stop the meeting.
Sources at the meeting told the media that the state government was said to have pressurised some event centres to cancel bookings earlier made by the opposition.
“This is an indication of the bloody politics that lies ahead heralding the political squabble between El-Rufai and his former godson, Governor Uba Sani.
“The thugs were mobilised by some government officials by one SSA on Special Duties known as Hon. Babaji to disrupt the opposition,” a top source revealed.
The media obtained some pictures of those injured at the meeting and the video of the moment the thugs stormed the venue.
