However, the celebration in the Numan town turned bloody.
This followed an altercation between jubilant Buhari supporters with armed military men stationed near Numan Bridge.
It was gathered that the jubilant youths initially on a peaceful victory procession later became uncontrollable and disorderly as some of them attacked the military personnel who tried to tame their celebration.
The soldiers had allegedly fired warning shots into the air to warn the crowd which started advancing towards them while hurling stones.
The soldiers were said to have fired shots again, which allegedly hit some persons. Three persons were reportedly hit, while their corpses were later deposited by the soldiers in the mortuary of Numan General Hospital.
The police in Yola said they were aware of the clash between the soldiers and youths in the Numan area. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Othman Abubakar, added that the command had, however, yet to get any report.
He said, “There are many reports; but policemen on the ground told us that there were persons that were injured; I cannot confirm any death.”
