APC House of Representatives Member’s Convoy Stoned by Youths in Kano Over Alleged Community Neglect

Angry youths reportedly attacked the convoy of Hon. Muhammad Chiroma Nalabara, the Federal Lawmaker representing Gezawa/Gabasawa Constituency, during a campaigning exercise in Garuruwa, Gabasawa Local Government Area of Kano State because they claim he has not brought any meaningful developments to the community.

WHAT HAPPENED

The incident occurred on Saturday when the APC lawmaker who was carrying out some campaign activity in the community was attacked by youths who pelted the convoy with objects and expressed their anger over alleged non-delivery of basic infrastructure.

"Youth can’t see any development in the area," they shouted in the local language.

In videos circulating online, angry youths were seen marching down the main road. Some were armed with long pieces of wood and clubs. The videos were posted on X by Bakatsine (@DanKatsina). [https://x.com/DanKatsina50/status/2113895765491798294]

The incident comes amid increasing tension caused by some Nigerian constituents who are increasingly asking for accountability from their elected officials.

As of the time of writing, Nalabara and the Kano State Police Command had not issued any official statement. It was also unclear if anyone had been hurt or arrested.
