Just In!! APC Federal Lawmaker Attacked By Irate Mob, His House Ransacked (Photos)

About one week after protesters attacked lawmakers and other public officials at a political event in Katsina, another lawmaker has been attacked.

Protesters on Sunday disrupted a political gathering convened by a member of the House of Representatives, Mohammed Gololo (APC-Bauchi), in his ancestral Gololo village of Gamawa Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Mr. Gololo, who is the representative for the Gamawa federal constituency, was pelted with stones at the event organized by the lawmaker to distribute empowerment materials to his supporters.
His vehicle was damaged in the process as security operatives whisked him away, witnesses said.
A witness told PREMIUM TIMES that the windscreen of the car of the federal lawmaker was smashed by the angry youth who reportedly marched from the scene to his house to continue the attack.
Pictures obtained by PREMIUM TIMES show damages to parts of the house. Luckily for Mr. Gololo, he and members of his family were said to have fled the house before the arrival of the mob.
Efforts by our reporter to speak with the lawmaker over the incident was not successful, as repeated calls to his phone lines were diverted.
A member of his family who confirmed the attack on Mr. Gololo’s house, however, denied that it was by a mob.
He attributed the damage to burglary, saying thieves had broken into Mr. Gololo’s old residence.
The assailants reportedly carted away personal belongings of the representative during the attack.
An indigene of Gamawa Local Government Area, who identified himself simply as Salisu, said he was at Gololo village at the time of the incident.

Mr. Salisu accused political opponents of instigating the protesters against the lawmaker, saying Mr. Gololo was saved from being lynched by his military guards.
Various organisations had last year written public petitions accusing Mr. Gololo of abandoning his constituents while living a life of opulence in Abuja.
According to the petition written in both English and Hausa languages, the last time Mr. Gololo was sighted in his constituency was about six months before the attack.
