Governor, Badaru Abubakar
An angry mob on Tuesday attacked an aide to Jigawa State
Governor, Badaru Abubakar, and other officials.
Channels Television learned that the victims were the Special
Adviser to the Governor on Community Development and Social
Inclusion, Mr. Hamza Mohammed together, and officials of the State
Emergency Management Authority (SEMA).
They were said to have embarked on a flood assessment of the
Ganuwar Kuka area of the state before being attacked.
The attackers purportedly wielded sticks, matchets, and other
dangerous weapons to register their displeasure against the state
government over alleged lackluster attitude towards the flood,
which to them, has affected eight local government areas under the
Hadejia emirate.

The Special Adviser who confirmed the attack to Channels
Television, adding that they were to inspect the extent of damages
in the community before the mob attacked them.
Also, Governor Abubakar condemned the attack on his aide,
describing it as being politically motivated.
“This is politically motivated. How can one attack someone who
is trying to provide you with support? Nobody is responsible for
this disaster.
“It is God’s will and we cannot prevent it from happening. Even
in the United States, they experience disasters. Who are we to
prevent what God has ordained?” he said.
