Stakeholders meeting of Kwara State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC) ahead of commencement of the party membership registration exercise in the state has ended abruptly as violence marred the excercise. 

According to reports, no fewer that ten members of the party sustained serious injuries while the crisis lasted.

Recall that on Tuesday, faction loyal to the removed state Chairman, Hon Bashir Bolarinwa protested on the streets of Ilorin over allegations that the new chairman, Alh Sanmari Abdullahi wanted to manipulate the excercise.

The Chairman Caretaker Committee, Alh Sanmari while receiving the APC Committee from Abuja also appealed that all members,and new ones should be duly registered,and not disenfranchised.

The seven-man committee  led by Senator Adonoi  arrived Ilorin,  the state capital on Monday for the exercise and fixed Wednesday for meeting with the stakeholders.

Upon arrival, the chairman, Senator Adonoi said that, it has received 187,200 booklets from the party in Abuja for the exercise.

During the melee, iron chairs and other valuable materials in the hall were freely used by the aggrieved members of the opposing camps to attacked one another.

The crowded banquet hall soon became empty as members vacated the venue and scampered for safety.
