PDP SUPPORTERS DIE IN AUTO CRASH

About eight people were feared dead in an accident involving supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party in Benue State yesterday

The accident occurred about at 10 am  on Otukpo- Agatu Road in the state while the party supporters were travelling to Agatu for the flag-off of Abba Morro senatorial campaign for the 2019 elections.

Abba Moro, a former Minister of Interior, is the PDP senatorial candidate for Benue South.


An eyewitness said the multiple accident occurred when the tyre of one of the buses conveying some PDP supporters burst and it veered off the road.

Other buses conveying party supporters were then said to have rammed into one another, resulting in the high casualty figure.
