The Sokoto State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) has alleged that thugs loyal to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday, attacked its headquarters on Ahmadu Bello Way, and vandalised its vehicles.
A statement by the State Publicity Secretary of the Party, Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal made available to ASHENEWS claimed that the attackers were “weapons-wielding thugs, suspected to be loyal to the Senator representing Sokoto Central, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko.
“The uncivilised and unprovoked attacks happened as the Senator passed along the road in the company of the thugs, carrying all sorts of dangerous weapons.
“They descended on the office, destroying campaign billboards and smashing windscreens of the Party’s vehicles parked at the premises of the party office, as well as causing damages to other properties within the premises,” the PDP alleged.
The statement called “on security agencies in the state to urgently investigate this heinous act with a view to bringing the perpetrators of the dastardly act to justice.
“The PDP urges the security agencies to act expeditiously on the matter, as continuous attacks on our offices by sponsored hoodlums will force the PDP to have a review of the Peace Accord it signed on peaceful political activities in the state, for which the APC jettisoned.
“The PDP as a party will not allow some few miscreants to derail the efforts of the security agencies that are trying to institutionalise peace in the state.
