The British Broadcasting Service( Hausa Service) Started Violence In Adamawa by buzu007: 11:01pm On Apr 18, 2011 |
BBC HAUSA SERVICE CONNECTION The BBC Hausa Service has been blamed for the riots and confusion in Adamawa State following its alleged broadcast that CPC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari had won the election in Adamawa State when the electoral commission in the state was still collating results. The Special Adviser to the Adamawa State Governor Aminu Iyawa told journalists that the BBC broadcast was orchestrated to cause mischief and chaos. He said violence erupted after the electoral commission announced Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP as winner in the state. Reports from our correspondent in Adamawa say the state government has imposed a 24-hour curfew in the state after riots broke out in various parts. Several buildings and cars belonging to mostly Igbo traders were destroyed in Yola by youths on Sunday who also barricaded roads and razed the Jonathan campaign office there. So far, 3 persons have been killed, while police say they have arrested about 50 persons carrying arms and jerry cans of petrol. THEWILL correspondent also reports that violence has spread to Michika and Mubi, the commercial hob of the state. |

Nothing surprising. The BBC has been at the forefront of relating this election to ''violence'' throughout their miserable coverage. Not surprised that they would instigate it. |
