The Chairman House Committee on Power and Member representing Birnin Kudu Buji constituency, Hon. Magaji Da’u Aliyu and some All-Progressive Congress state executives have narrowly escaped lynching by suspected aggrieved members of his constituency.
The incident happened when the aggrieved members blocked the road to stop the Hon. member and other APC executives who were in the area for a political event organized by the latter.
The aggrieved members who were hundreds in numbers and well-armed with cutlass, sticks and other dangerous weapons block the road and threatened to attack anyone who dare to pass through the roadblock they mounted in Kukuma town of Buji local government of the state.
The aggrieved members said they took the action to expressed their dissatisfaction with the bad representation given to them at the national assembly by their Rep Member, Hon. Magaji Da’u Aliyu.
The group who surrounded the road were heard chanting ‘Bamayi, Bamay!!! (Literally meaning – we are not with you).
The situation has led to a direct confrontation between the aggrieved members and political thugs in the entourage of the Hon member which consequently led to the burning down of billboards and other structures that carried political symbols in the area.
While contacted on the incident the legislative aide to the Member Barrister Murtala Isa said, the incident was not an attack on the o member’s convoy, insisted, it was a minor disagreement among the party members.
However, he admitted that he knows all the youth who blocked the road.
