The police in Katsina State have commenced investigation into the attack on the Governor of the state, Bello Masari; the Senator representing Katsina South, Abu Ibrahim; and a member representing Bakori-Danja in the House of Representatives, Amiru Tukur, by some Katsina youths on Saturday.
The police spokesman in the state, Isah Gambo said on Sunday that investigation into the incident has commenced. He however said that no arrest has been made.
It was gathered that the politicians were mobbed at a political event organized by the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress in Funtua, Katsina. Some vehicles in the entourage of the governor were said to have been smashed by the irate youths while security personnel had to use tear gas to disperse the crowd.
Trouble started when some youths started chanting that they don’t want Senator Abu Ibrahim and then started throwing stones and shoes at dignitaries and entertainers invited to perform at the event.
Tukur suffered injury while Ibrahim, along with some of his aides and supporters, who were trying to rescue the senator, were also assaulted.
