Suspected political thugs have
attacked the governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, in the last governorship elections in Benue State, Hon. Terhemen
Tarzoor at Yandev, Gboko local government area of Benue State.
The hoodlums allegedly invaded an
eating joint behind the Aperan Orshi College of Agriculture, Yandev in the
afternoon where the governorship candidate and his friends, who are lecturers
at the institution were hanging out.
Several people were injured while
supporters of the governorship candidate were said to have smuggled him into a
hiding place until the hoodlums left the scene.
Confirming the attack, Tarzoor
explained that the incident happened few minutes after he arrived Yandev on the
invitation of his friends who are lecturers at College of Agriculture, Yandev.
“The hoodlums were suspected to be thugs of
All Progressive Congress, APC, who appeared in three vehicles less than ten
minutes after my arrival and unleashed terror on me, my friends and those who
were within the vicinity.
“I narrowly escaped from these
thugs following the intervention of well meaning individuals who swiftly
smuggled me into an undisclosed destination, while the attack lasted the thugs
beat up several people, inflicted injuries on many persons and destroyed
properties”, he alleged.
He, however, called on all his
supporters to remain calm and charged elders, political leaders and
stakeholders in the state to see themselves as bridge builders and not
destroyers.
The state police public relations
officer, ASP Moses Yamu, who confirmed the incident, said the matter was under
investigation.
