Angry Niger State Residents Chases Their Visiting Lawmaker Out Of The Community (See Video)
Suleiman Musa Nasko, a lawmaker in the Niger State House of Assembly who represents Magama, was physically attacked and driven out of the community by its residents.
On Saturday, March 19, Nasko was chased while paying a condolence visit to the families of the victims of a bandit attack that killed a Divisional Police Officer and six other security operatives.
The enraged constituents, mainly young men, yelled at him and stoned his convoy as they chased him out of town, declaring, “We are no longer interested.”
According to Daily Trust sources, the congressman had met with the Auna District Head when a group of youths began yelling “only one term,” resulting in a confrontation between his supporters and the enraged youths.
The security officers who followed the lawmaker ensured that he escaped unharmed.
Sahabi Mahmud, the lawmaker’s spokesperson, acknowledged the incident and stated that Nasko was not pleased with what had occurred.
He said, “It was a misunderstanding between the supporters of the Members Representing Magama, Hon Suleiman Musa, and some youths.
“The incident truly happened in Auna where the lawmaker went to console the family of one of the vigilantes who was killed alongside other security operatives in Nasko.
“So, it was on our way out that some few youths started chanting ‘we are not interested’ which didn’t go down well with supporters of the Lawmaker. And even when heard that his people confronted each other, he wasn’t happy.”
