How Gombe gov’s ADC attacked Goje’s convoy, killed 1
A former governor of Gombe State, Senator Muhammad Danjuma Goje (APC, Gombe Central) has narrated how the aide-de-camp of, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, blocked and attacked his convoy while on his way to attend the wedding of his granddaughter, Fatima Abdullahi Musa in Gombe town.
Goje, who chairs the Senate Committee on Marine Transport, in a statement by his media aide, Lilian Nworie, said he arrived Gombe from Abuja, via Gombe Airport in Lawanti, peacefully until the governor’s aides blocked the road.
Nworie said, “Distinguished senator’s trip was peaceful until when the governor’s aides including his aide-de-camp blocked the road. For two hours, they unleashed terror on Senator Goje and those in his convoy.
She said, “ It is unfortunate that one live was lost and many cars vandalised including the Senator’s vehicle. They smashed the windscreen. All efforts to make the governor’s aide-de-camp remove the blockade yielded no result as he insisted that he got instruction from the above that the former governor should not be allowed into the town.”
She said the governor’s driver, Aminu Hula and Gombe State APC Youth Leader, Kawu Lero have been arrested by the State Police Command.
“ They have been arrested but the aide-de-camp who led the people to attack the former governor had since returned to those who sent him. The aide-de-camp said he was acting based on order from the above. In this case, it is his boss, Gombe State Governor,” she said.
She the former governor as a peace loving leader of the state has urged his teeming supporters to be calm and law abiding and called for independent investigation of matter.
