Members of the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) clashed on Wednesday over who takes charge as national coordinator of the group.

Following the development, men of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), armed with rifles and ammunitions were seen at the campaign office located along Kubwa express way, talking with the two factional leaders for peace to reign.

The duo of Alhaji Danladi Pasali and Alhaji Isa Bayero have been laying claim to the leadership of the group.

According to DailyTrust, trouble started when members loyal to Alhaji Pasali stormed the office and locked the gate in order to address a press conference on Buhari’s return from London.

When the Alhaji Bayero group arrived in order to have another press conference, there was no way for them to gain entry, as members of the other faction had already occupied and locked up the gate.

Briefing newsmen on the development outside the gate, Bayero claimed that the other faction broke into his office and carted away official documents and other valuables.

The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) from Katampe Division, Mr Tino Tangaza, who led the team of policemen to the venue, later invited five members from each of the two factions for a peace meeting in the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
