By Golok Nanmwa, Jos

Tragedy on Saturday marred the People’s Democratic Party PDP Governorship campaign flag-off in the Central Senatorial zone of Plateau State as a truck conveying party supporters from Pankshin after the rally had an accident close to Panyam bridge with several persons feared dead.

Sources from the community told our correspondent that the unfortunate incident happened at about 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The source further told our correspondent that several other persons sustained several injures.

Efforts to reach relevant authorities to get the full details of those injured and dead at the time of sending this report was abortive.

It could be recalled that some members of the PDP, in Plateau State last Tuesday, narrowly escaped death on their way to the flag off campaign of the People’s Democratic Party PDP Candidate in the forthcoming 2023 Governorship election Bar Caleb Mutfwang when the bus in which they were travelling was got involved in a ghastly accident.

The injured persons, were hospitalized in various hospitals in the State.
