The hoodlums had mounted a blockade around the Timber Market axis of the Dei Dei Road and prevented the APC convoy from going to the palace of the Sarkin Jiwa. This happened as a PDP rally was being held around the Dei Dei Timber Market. The convoy was attacked again around the same spot while it was returning from the palace and heading to the grand finale of the APC FCT Campaign at the Old Parade Ground. The security agents intervention helped to create a brief window, which allowed the APC Campaign convoy to retreat and follow another route to safety. The Director General, FCT APC Campaign Council, Musa Mohammed, described the attack as unfortunate.He said intelligence information suggests that the attack may have been premeditated.
