It was gathered that members of the congress committee and INEC officials would have been mobbed by the suspected thugs. It took the prompt intervention of security agencies before they were rescued and taken out of the chaotic venue.
Prominent members of the party, including, former Senate President, Chief Ken Nnamani, ex Governor of Enugu State, Barr. Sullivan Chime, national vice chairman of the party, Mr. Emma Eneukwu, party chieftain, Emperor Baewood Ibe and other members ran for their lives as the violence erupted.
Nigeria’s foreign affairs minister, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama was also there at the time of the incident.
Signal that all may not end well was visible in the morning as two warring groups in the party stormed the venue.
Unlike the local government and ward congresses, which the groups held at different venues, it was a different thing this time as they both stormed the stadium early morning with their supporters.
Although sponsors of the thugs were yet to be identied as of the time of filling this report, the camp loyal to Onyeama returned to the same venue to hold their parallel congress.
