Shooters were unseen and no one could tell from which direction the gunfire was coming but it appeared to be from all around the venue of the APC rally.
The situation worsened as hoodlums have reportedly taken over the town.
A member of Channels Television crew has been stabbed and is currently receiving treatment in a hospital.
