Thugs Assault APC Supporters in Katsina Ahead of Campaign
On Wednesday, suspected political thugs attacked vehicles carrying supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State. The attack resulted in several minor injuries and damage to vehicles as supporters were en route to Funtua for the flag-off of Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda's re-election campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The assailants, chanting “Ba mu yi,” meaning “We do not agree,” threw objects and stones at the convoy, shattering windscreens and windows. A police officer's timely intervention helped prevent further harm.
Following the incident, police deployed tear gas to disperse the attackers and restore order. Despite the disruption, thousands of APC supporters gathered in Funtua, showing solidarity for Governor Radda and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The attack raised concerns about political intolerance and the safety of campaign supporters. As of the report, the attackers' identities and motives were not confirmed, and there were no immediate arrests or statements from the Katsina State Police Command.
