Some vehicles in the entourage of the governor were smashed by irate youths while tear-gas was used to disperse the crowds by the security personnel.

They were reportedly chanting “Bamaso Abu Ibrahim’’ and throwing stones, dust, shoes at dignitaries.

Popular Hausa musician, “Dauada-Rara-Kahua,” was also not allowed to perform at the event.

Tukur was reportedly injured during the attack while security operatives successfully rescued the Senator.
