governorship candidate, former Air Marshal Saddique Abubakar against alleged use of violence in places of campaign.According to the group, Abubakar campaign train had been nothing but a calamity to the good and peace-loving people of Bauchi State as cases of violence and alleged murder had been recorded in some places of his campaign.

DAILY POST has gathered that the security attached to him allegedly shot and killed two innocent persons in Akuyam district of Misau LGA while on a campaign tour.
“Same scenario happened in Gumau town of Toro LGA where thugs and security attached to him fired live ammunition to disperse crowds as they shouted the slogan “Bamayi” and injuring scores in the process,” he added.
