NO fewer than five persons were hit with bullet at the gate of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, where Senator Dino Melaye was holding a protest against the state government.

The protest which stared around 11am turned bloody when gunmen yet to be identified invaded the venue of protest.

The gunmen, who stormed the venue from the Nataco junction with guns and cutlasses started shooting into sporadically sending people scampering for safety including journalists, who were there to cover the event.

Before the Army and the state commissioner of Police could reach there almost an hour into the shooting, five persons were shot while a vehicle was burnt.  – Vanguard
