Council in the state, Mr. Dahiru Kera, confirmed this to journalists
yesterday.

According to him, the thugs attacked the governor’s
convoy on his way from the airport, adding that two cars in the

Meanwhile, the thugs also attacked a
Lafiyawo community in the state, destroying a private radio station,
Progress FM, located along Gombe Airport Road.

Eight shops were burnt down in the community.

Two vehicles were also set ablaze in Jekadafari Quarters of the state capital.

Gombe State Police Commissioner (CP), Mr. Bello Makwashi, yesterday in Gombe confirmed the incident to journalists.

The
CP who confirmed this through the command’s spokesperson, Mary Malum,
said investigation into the attack which occurred on Saturday evening
was still ongoing.

A resident of the community, Malam Nuhu Usman

airport before setting eight shops on fire.

According to him, many people sustained various degrees of injuries, while one was hospitalised.

Meanwhile,
Managing Director of the radio station, Alhaji Ibrahim Biu, has alleged
that the attack was caused by some thugs attached to Dankwambo.

“Yesterday evening, thugs following the governor’s convoy from the airport attacked our office with weapons.

“They were throwing stones and making attempts to gain entrance into the compound.

“So, I quickly called the commissioner of police and the director of State Security Service who responded swiftly.

“In
the attack, one of our security men was wounded. It was very scary but
we thank the security for their swift response,” he said.

However,
Director of Media of PDP Campaign Council in the state, Mr. Dahiru

were not from PDP.
