THUGS STORM COURT, DISRUPT EDO STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION TRIBUNAL
Thugs on Monday invaded the premises of the Edo State High Court in Benin in an attempt to disrupt the pre-hearing session on the disputed September 21 governorship election results.
The election, which saw Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerge victorious, is being challenged by seven opposition parties.
Supporters of the opposing parties were present at the court when they were suddenly attacked by unidentified individuals outside the courtroom.
Security agents quickly sprang into action, blocking the court entrance and setting up a roadblock along the route leading to the court.
