Shekarau was reportedly in the town for the annual Gwong Day celebration when he was assaulted.
According to unconfirmed reports, the thugs carrying dangerous weapons were chanting Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) slogans.
The victim told how it happened:
“On getting to the venue, I was subjected to thorough security check. Suddenly hoodlums started attacking me with clubs and dangerous weapons.
“I escaped but they destroyed 16 cars belonging to our party and my bullet-proof car. The security personnel saw all that transpired and none of them tried to repel the hoodlums who were brought to Southern Kaduna in droves.
“It is quite unfortunate and condemnable. How can such a thing be allowed by a government that said it wants peace? It is a clear case of inciting violence and intimidation in the name of politics.”
