The IBB Square, Makurdi in Benue State was thrown into confusion and
disarray last weekend when the Benue youth fiesta staged there was
disrupted as a popular Nigerian musician, Terry G, the crooner was
performing on stage.
The musician hails from the state.
The
Benue fiesta, which attracted hundreds of youth, including men and
women was was organized by the member representing Guma/Makurdi federal
constituency, Barrister Emmanuel Jime, who is known to be nursing
gubernatorial ambition in 2015.
The venue of the event was jam-packed as all fun seekers in the agrarian state attended to unwind.
Prominent
Nigerian artistes including J. Martins, I Go Dye, Ice Prince and Pastor
Nicodemus Mbatsavtampu performed at event and it was such a lively
occasion before it was rudely interrupted. Trouble started as Terry G
was on stage performing and
some youth suspected to be hoodlums
began to throw sachet water on the musician and later broke bottles and
charged towards him, while making loud noise. There was confusion as
people ran helter skelter for the lives.
The particular IBB
square arena has remained a beehive of social activities preparatory to
the Christmas and new year celebrations and none of the events had been
marred by such rude interruption and violence.
