Hundreds of angry women and youths in Sanga local government area of Kaduna state were said to have attacked the convoy of the state governor, Alhaji Mukhtar Yero when he visited the area Monday for the first time to commiserate with the people over the recent invasion of some communities by armed Fulani herdmen which led to the killing of about 50 people, including three soldiers.
But the governor’s media aide, Mallam Ahmed Maiyaki denied the incident, describing it as mischievous.
The women were said to have dressed half naked in black attires, and together with the youths attempted to block the governor from entering the area, accusing him of neglecting them and for allowing his Fulani brothers to unleash mayhem on them.
Yero who was said to have been accompanied to the area by a heavy security arrived the area amidst heavy rain, but the women and youths were said to have defied the rain and trooped out to the road awaiting the governor.
A community leader in Karshin Daji, one of the communities that were attacked last week told the Media on telephone that the governor’s visit was not out of concern for the plight of the people but it was for his selfish political interest.
