A female resident of Maiduguri, Fadila Abdulrahman, was on Sunday evening ‘brutalized’ by suspected hoodlums in Maiduguri which drew the attention if Governor Babagana Umara Zulum and ordered for arrest of the perpetrators for full investigation into the matter by the Police.
The thugs were said to have armed the scene with clubs, sticks and other lethal weapons and further vandalized her business shop.
CAPITAL POST gathered that Fadila was assaulted in her shop at Shehu Sanda Kyarimi Park by four thugs over a ‘scathing’ Facebook post she made against the House of Representatives member representing Jere Federal Constituency, Hon. Ahmed Satomi Grema.
Fadila was said to have expressed dissatisfaction with the leadership style of the federal lawmaker in his federal Constituency criticizing his manner of handling electorates issues and attitude towards his constituents in Jere LGC of Borno State.
A leader of the four political thugs was alleged to have abused the Fadila threatening to assign assassins to kill her as he was ready to sacrifice his life for Hon. Ahmed Satomi should anyone verbally attack his ‘political master (Engr. Satomi).
“Be careful. Otherwise, we will just waste you,” he said.
Eye witnesses at the scene of the incident said that the attack was organized by one of the supporters of the federal lawmaker who is the manager of a recreational area within the zoo park where visitors gather to rest, relax and even hold mini receptions as well as other social gatherings located along Kashim Ibrahim Way Maiduguri, opposite BRTV.
According to sources, “The attack seems to have been planned and coordinated by the Manager of Sanda Kyarimi Recreational Park who is popularly known as A Don Best Abatcha.
“He invited Sa’adu Suleiman Nakande, another strong supporter of Engr. Ahmed Satomi and other thugs to attack the girl at her shop around 5 pm.
“Don Best also ordered the thugs to destroy her Restaurant, nearly a month after he gave her the space to operate”, the source said
