It was also gathered that unknown gunmen earlier on Friday evening invaded Mkpuma Akataka in Izzi local government area of the State where members and supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were holding their consultative meeting and opened fire on them.

It was revealed that two persons were killed by the gunmen while two others sustained different degrees of gunshot injuries.
