The Gombe State Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, was on Tuesday morning vandalised and burnt down by suspected thugs.
Daily Report Nigeria gathered that the office situated along Gombe/Bauchi expressway, as well as Atiku House were both set on fire damaging documents, chairs and other valuables.
A PDP supporter, Muntari Kulsi, explained that the office was set on fire at about 1:30 am.
According to him the secretariat was running until about 1:20 am before he left the office.
Kulsi stated that hoodlums are suspected members of the All Progressives Congress, noting that it would be incomprehensible for both offices to be affected at the same time when they are not closely situated.
Kulsi said, “The source 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.”
Men of the State Fire Service responded immediately and tried putting off the fire but damages had already been done before their arrival.
The Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Pantami division also played a 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 go after them”. Kusli said
