The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) secretariate situated along Gombe/Bauchi expressway as well as Atiku House were both reportedly set on fire on Tuesday morning by some suspected political thugs.
Metronetworknews gathered that the inferno damaged documents, chairs and other valuables in the office.
An eye witness explained that the office was set on fire at about 1:30 am.
He alleged that the suspected hoodlums were members of the All Progressives Congress.
“ It is All Progressives Congress and its people. Both offices that are about four kilometres away from each other cannot naturally catch fire at once”.
“Our guys here saw the thugs, they came in three cars with several weapons; the security guard stationed at the office was overpowered by the thugs and had to run for their lives.”
” While men of the fire service close to the office tried to contain the fire, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Pantami division played useful roles.
“We are just waiting for our leaders to decide on what to do, but we all knew people that did this and we will go after them”, he said.
All attempts to reach the PDP Publicity Secretary, Muritala Usman, proved abortive.
