Some embittered Nigerian youths have begun to attack properties owned by political leaders.
In videos seen on X on Tuesday, some youths were seen burning a mansion built by a serving House of Representatives member, Nazifi Sani Gumel, representing Gumel/Maigatari/Sule Tankarkar/Gagarawa Federal Constituency.
The youths accused the lawmaker of neglecting their constituency after his election 14 months ago during the last general elections.
In a similar incident that happened in Yobe State, another set of angry youth attacked a current serving Senator’s House for allegedly siphoning public funds meant for the development of his district.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu’s administration had also revealed that there were about 150 new computers and laptops inside the looted office of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Industrial Park in Kano.
The newly constructed facility was vandalised by unknown people masquerading as protesters last Thursday.
The hoodlums also looted a series of properties.
However, a separate group of protesters, wearing green caps with the word “peace” engraved on them, intervened and chased away the perpetrators.
Photographs obtained at the scene show numerous individuals making off with stolen items, including furniture, electronics, and equipment from the NCC office.
