Political Killing! PDP Councilor Beaten To Death In Bauchi

The chairperson of Bogoro Local Government Area
of Bauchi State, Hassana Arkila, yesterday
confirmed the death of the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) councilor for Gizaki/Badagari Ward,
Musa Daniel, who he said was beaten to death by
irate youths while on electoral duty. “I want to confirm the death of a PDP councilor who
was beaten to death by irate youths. l am assuring
the people of the state that the full wrath of law
will catch up with the attackers,” she said.
However, Arkila appealed to the perpetrators of the
act to sheath their sword and embrace peace. “The death of the councilor is a signal that the APC is
afraid of losing the electoral process. I ask for
calm among PDP supporters.”
Meanwhile, election in Bauchi State was marred by
the malfunctioning of card readers. The card
reader at Baba Sidi Primary School, Bauchi rejected the thumbprint of Governor Mallam Isa
Yuguda.
“So far, so bad, the card has rejected my thumb
print again. My thumb print was rejected during
presidential and National Assembly elections; the
same thing happened today again,” said Yuguda. The governor commended voters for their orderly
conduct at polling units. However, he lamented the
low turnout which was witnessed throughout the
country. “Some of the electorates believed in the
Presidential election so may be that was the reason
for the low turn out but I want to urge them to come
out and exercise their franchise,” Yuguda said.
