One person was allegedly shot dead and some policemen were injured when suspected hoodlums clashed with policemen on Friday in Calabar.
The incident happened at the Cultural Centre venue of the Akpabuyo/Bakassi, Calabar South Federal Constituency primary election of the All Progressives Congress.
Circumstances surrounding the incident could not be immediately ascertained as of the time of filing this report.
