Tensions ran high in Yola on Thursday as two groups, one supporting and the other opposing the administration of President Bola Tinubu, held simultaneous protests.
The situation escalated as the groups, initially marching along different routes, began to converge and infiltrate each other’s paths, leading to a heated exchange of words.
Security forces, who were on high alert, quickly intervened to prevent the situation from escalating into physical violence.
Heavily armed personnel maintained a strong presence, successfully averting a potentially dangerous clash between the two factions.
Despite the commotion, no incidents of violence or breaches of peace have been reported in Adamawa State.
However, the events have heightened concerns among residents, raising fears of further unrest.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure the safety and security of the populace.
