There was chaos at the entrance of Eagle Square, Abuja, on Saturday as security agents fired several rounds of teargas at delegates as well as officials finding their way into the venue of the 2022 All Progressives Congress national convention.

Our correspondent who was on the ground observed that with over 1000 security agents deployed to ensure decorum at the venue, the sights at the entrance of Eagle Square were far from organized.

Several security agents were seen wielding whips, teargas canisters, and stun guns which they deployed as they deemed fit.

Amidst the tussle, some individuals reportedly got injured and lost their valuables such as mobile phones and cameras.
