The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN stormed Ilorin, the Kwara State capital on Thursday to shore up support for Dele Belgore, its gubernatorial candidate in the April poll. Supporters of the party from the states controlled by the party, led by their governors converged on Ilorin stadium, while records of proceedings were being transmitted to audience at home via NTA Ilorin.
Leaders of the party made fiery speeches urging support for their party, while denouncing the other parties. A fuji musician was also on stage blaring music deriding the opponents.
Things were going on well till the tail end of proceedings when thugs allegedly from the PDP in a bus stormed the venue and a free for all ensued. The Musician, Wasiu Ayinde was the target of attack before his thugs from Lagos intervened and things turned bloody. Two people were feared dead while some others lost hands and limbs and were rushed to near-by hospital. Another account said trouble erupted among the multiple thugs imported from outside over the sharing of the money dropped by their benefactors.
Days after the event, residents of Ilorin are still complaining about the bloody nature of campaign being introduced into the politics of the State. Three weeks ago, thugs, allegedly sponsored by the PDP descended on campaign billboards of the opposing political parties like the DPP and ACN.
