10 injured as Kwara APC members throw chairs at each other [VIDEO]

Earlier today, All Progressive Congress (APC) stakeholders meeting in Kwara state ended in violence after the two factions of the party in the state fought for supremacy.

The violence erupted at the Banquet Hall of Government House where a meeting was holding ahead of the registration exercise.

The meeting started on a peaceful note until it was disrupted by some other party members who felt they were being cheated. The crisis soon saw the members from the opposing factions throwing the iron chairs in the hall at each other.

10 members sustained varying degrees of injury. Watch a video from the scene of the incident below:

TopNaija reliably gathered that the faction loyal to the removed state Chairman, Hon Bashir Bolarinwa protested on the streets of Ilorin over allegations that the new chairman, Alh Sanmari Abdullahi wanted to manipulate the excercise.

The Chairman Caretaker Committee, Alh Sanmari while receiving the APC Committee from Abuja also appealed that all members and new ones should be duly registered, and not disenfranchised.

The seven-man committee led by Senator Adonoi arrived Ilorin,  the state capital on Monday for the exercise and fixed Wednesday for meeting with the stakeholders. Upon arrival, the chairman, Senator Adonoi said that it has received 187,200 booklets from the party in Abuja for the exercise.

During the melee, iron chairs and other valuable materials in the hall were freely used by the aggrieved members of the opposing camps who freely attacked one another. The crowded banquet hall soon became virtually empty as members vacated the venue and ran away for safety.
