Garko Escapes Mob Attack After Tinubu Rally in Bauchi

Jamil Jadda Garko, the chairman of the Da Hannu Na Political Mobilisation Group under the Arewa for Asiwaju Platform, escaped an alleged mob attack in Bauchi State following a solidarity rally for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The incident occurred over the weekend after a road show that gathered supporters from seven North-West states.

The peaceful procession was protected by personnel from the Department of State Services, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and the Federal Road Safety Corps. The group intended to visit a correctional centre, a rehabilitation centre, and an orphanage to distribute relief materials as part of a humanitarian initiative.

However, suspected thugs allegedly attacked the delegation, disrupting their planned visits. Garko threatened to report the incident to several high-ranking officials, including Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Professor Nantawe.

The attackers were alleged to have links with the state government, a claim that remains unverified. No injuries or arrests were confirmed at the time of reporting.
