President Goodluck Jonathan’s convoy was again stoned on Thursday
by youths in Jalingo, Taraba State.
His convoy had before Thursday been stoned in Katsina and
Bauchi states when he went to seek the votes for his re-election bid.
It was gathered that the windscreens and windows of some of
the vehicles on the convoy were destroyed before security operatives used tear gas and horsewhips to disperse the youths.
Those who witnessed the Thursday incident but pleaded
anonymity told The reporter that the
incident occurred when the President’s convoy was going to the palace of the
Emir of Muri, Abass Tafida, from the
airport.
One of them said, “Security agents ensured that people were
moved very far from the main but at a point, the convoy got to a particular
village where the youths became restive.
Before we knew what was happening, they started
stoning the convoy.
