It was reported that a detachment of the Nigerian Police was deployed to curtail the situation and restore normalcy.
Senator Sani on Saturday had claimed that his constituency office in Kaduna and family house was attacked by thugs allegedly loyal to Governor Nasir El-Rufai, saying that the governor should be held responsible for whatever happens to him and his family
Since the Senator’s November 30 suspension, over what the party termed “illegalities committed against the party,” it has been one name calling, attack or the other between the senator and the state’s governor.

That shehu sani ought to be prosecuted for treason. He was also linked to boko haram but no one seem to interrogate him.

What are your facts that he is a sponsor of boko haram? Don’t forget Buhari was also linked to boko haram sponsorship then. So no one can arrest him.

Senator shehu sani needs to be recalled by his constituency if they are wise. At least they have better credible candidate who can represent them at the senate.

It’s a sponsor act. This is Nigeria. I am sure shehu sani paid the thugs as reaction to his suspension.
