Chaos erupted in Jos as the Transition Implementation Committee (TIC) Chairman of Qua’an Pan LGA, Hon Christopher Audu, was brutally attacked by delegates during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election. The violence broke out after Audu was declared the winner, with angry delegates accusing him of manipulating the process to secure his victory.
Witnesses reported that the once-peaceful election descended into mayhem when some delegates, denied entry into the hall, forced their way in and launched a vicious assault on the Chairman. Audu, sustaining severe injuries, was hurriedly transported from the scene to an undisclosed medical facility.
The incident has sparked outrage, with some delegates alleging that Audu had rigged the election by handpicking loyalists as delegates while barring others from participating. The Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) officials overseeing the election were also reportedly attacked in the fray. The PDP is yet to release an official statement on the shocking event.
