Some foreign delegates have lamented the ill-treatment they received at the just concluded national convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
One of the delegates, who claimed to have come from Canada, narrated his ordeal in a video posted online.
He said they arrived at the Eagles Square, Abuja venue of the convention as early as 7 am but were not allowed in as of 1 pm when he was speaking.
He said they were asked to form a queue but as they were complying, all hell was let loose and they were beaten while some of them had their phones stolen.
“They sent us an email that we should come by 7’o clock in the morning. We were there at 7 am. Later, they sent another email that we should come at 9 am. They gave us a tag, took us on a bus. We went round all this place for almost one hour. They couldn’t let us in”.
“They finally told us to form a line. We got on the line. They started beating us, stealing our phones. As I am talking to you, we are still standing outside. Just look at what they are doing to foreign delegates. This is very unacceptable and the government has to know this. I came all the way from Canada and this is what we are getting,” the man claimed in the video.
