One person has died and several others have been injured after a shooting on a tram in a city in Holland this morning.
Police, including an anti-terror unit, have been deployed to the scene following the incident on a tram at 24 October Square in the city of Utrecht.
Images from the scene show a tram stopped in the middle of a junction surrounded by emergency emergency service vehicles.
Police Utrecht confirmed there are "multiple injuries" and said a manhunt is underway after the gunman escaped.
Dutch police said the shooter "may have had a terrorist motive" and that there may have been more than one perpatrator.
There are reports that shootings may have taken place in several places across the city, which is 25 miles south of Amsterdam.
Primary schools in Utrecht have been put on lockdown and all mosques have been evacuated.
Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of willfully ignoring court orders directing the commission to release the presidential election materials to Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate.
Ologbodiyan said this in a press statement issued on Saturday. Atiku and his party had approached the court to challenge the outcome of the February 23 presidential election, alleging electoral malpractices.
Atiku secured his first victory when the court ordered the commission to release copies of the electoral materials to Atiku.
However, the party’s spokesperson said INEC has refused to obey the order despite notice and follow-ups.
