The motorcade of Muhammad Nalabara, the lawmaker representing Gezawa/Gabasawa Federal Constituency on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was reportedly attacked by angry youths in Garuruwa/Gabasawa Local Government Area of Kano State on Saturday.
According to SaharaReporters, the attack occurred during a campaign-related visit by the federal lawmaker to the community.
The youths pelted the motorcade with objects, expressing their deep frustration over the alleged neglect of their community by the representative.
The protesters who spoke their local dialect were overheard chanting that nothing had been done to improve their living conditions or provide basic amenities despite his time in office.
The visuals show youths, some visibly armed with long wooden sticks and clubs, march down the main road.
The incident was disclosed by an X user, Bakatsine (@DanKatsina), in a video clip shared on the platform on Saturday.
The attack underscores the growing discontent and friction between constituents and elected officials in Nigeria, with citizens increasingly taking drastic measures to demand accountability and tangible development in their areas.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from the lawmaker or the Kano State Police Command regarding the incident.
