Thugs brutalise journalist at inauguration over report on Buhari, Nasarawa gov (Photos)

Thugs suspected to be APC loyalists in Nasarawa State on Friday allegedly beat up a beat Daily Trust correspondent Mr. Hir Joseph to a state of coma during Governor TankoAl-Makura’s inauguration in Lafia, the state capital.

According to reports, the thugs were angry over an analysis the reporter made on President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Al-Makura recently.

Punch newspaper reports that the incident occurred at 11.30 am, shortly after the governor and his deputy, Mr. Salias Agara, took their oaths of office at the Lafia parade ground.

Security operatives were able to rescue Joseph after throwing teargas canisters at the miscreants and chasing them away.

Joseph was later rushed to Dalhatu Specialist Hospital, Lafia for medical treatment.

Narrating his ordeal, Joseph said,

“I was watching the inauguration with some colleagues when the thugs who had the inscription ‘Ta’Al Boys’ on their T-shirts demanded that I follow them.

“I asked why they wanted me to follow them but they gave no answer. Rather, they pounced on me and dragging me at the same time. I only woke up in the hospital after.”
