Thugs disrupt APC stakeholders’ meeting, attack chairman, others

Some hoodlums, on Thursday, invaded the venue of a stakeholders’ meeting organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and attacked the area council’s chairman, Mr Abdulahi Galadima.
Galadima was attacked just before the meeting was ending at the Kuje Township Hall.
Party stalwarts had adjudged the meeting, which was aimed at preparing grounds for Saturday’s ward congresses, as successful, prompting questions as to why the attackers pounced on the chairman.
A visibly shocked Galadima, who expressed surprise at the incident, wondered why he was attacked.
He said that the hoodlums damaged his official car and that of his deputy.
Also hit was the former chairman of the council, Mr Danladi Zhin, whose car was badly damaged. ’
“The presence of the security agents saved me from being lynched by the attackers,” he said.
He explained that the meeting had  twice been postponed over security concerns, but expressed optimism that those behind the incident would be apprehended and brought to justice.
“When the investigation begins, we will know those behind the act and why they had to do it,” he said.
He expressed optimism that the forthcoming APC congress would be a success.
