JUST IN: Thugs disrupt Edo APC governorship primary results’ collation

Thugs on Saturday disrupted the coalition of results of the governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Edo State.

The results were being collated at Lushville Hotel and Suite, in GRA, Benin, when the incident happened.

Results from seven local government areas had been announced when journalists covering the event were alerted to vacate the centre of the event.

Before journalists could gather their things together, the thugs swooped on the venue after overpowering the police operatives at the gate and manhandled them.

Results announced before the disruption:
