Many Injured As Borno Lawmaker’s Supporters, Political Thugs Clash
The supporters of the Borno South Senatorial District Senator, Muhammadu Ali Ndume and some thugs clashed in Biu Local Government Area of Borno State.

About 32 people who sustained various degrees of injuries after the clash were rushed to the General Hospital in Biu.
“Yes. We have received injured persons. They are 32 in number. We also learnt that there are 16 others taken to a private hospital in Biu,” a source said.
