Some thugs in the Kano state chapter of the
PDP today held Vice President Namadi Sambo
hostage for about 20 minutes at the Bayero
University Kano premises over allegations that
the state party leader had abandoned them.
According to Daily Independent , an eyewitness
said dozens of heavily armed thugs posing as
loyal party men beat the security cover around
the VP and became unruly, pouring out their
grievances at the state party leaders.
The witness said the thugs in unison chorused
on top of there voices “Bamuayi Bamuayi
Bamuayi” which meant “we are no longer with
you”, while others shouted mungaji da aiki
banza”, meaning ‘we are tired of the job’.
An embarrassed Vice President immediately
ordered the state party leaders to address the
aggrieved members. This paved way for the
thugs to drop their arms and follow the convoy
of the Vice President.
