A truck conveying some members of the People’s Democratic Party in Abuja to the venue of their protest on Monday crashed, causing various degrees of injuries to some of its riders.
The PDP members and supporters led by the National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, are currently protesting in Abuja against last Tuesday’s judgement of the Supreme Court which removed Emeka Ihedioha (PDP) as governor of Imo state and declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress as winner of the 2019 Imo State Governorship election.
The incident occurred at the Transcorp Hilton Junction when the truck driver took a swift turn as the party faithful made their way to the Supreme Court complex to participate in protest.

The protest tagged #SaveOurJudiciary was called by the party to register its displeasure over the Supreme Court’s judgement that nullified the election of Emeka Ihedioha of the PDP as the Imo State Governor.
Similar peaceful protests took place in Owerri, the Imo State capital and some other parts of the country on Sunday.
