The Zamfara anti-thuggery committee has demolished a campaign office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gusau, the state capital.

The committee was established by Bello Matawalle, the Zamfara governor, to fight thuggery and other acts of violence in the state.

Bello Bakyasuwa, chairman of the committee, in an interview with journalists on Sunday, said the campaign office was demolished following intelligence reports that it was being used as a hideout.

“Based on the available intelligence report to my committee on the party campaign office which we demolished today, it indicated that the occupants are selling spare parts of stolen vehicles, motorcycles and drugs,” NAN quoted him as saying.

“We even recovered some women clothes during a raid of the said office.”

Bakyasuwa also said the committee is working round the clock to fight political thuggery and ensure a hitch-free electioneering campaign by all political parties in the state.

“As the election draws nearer, my committee is saddled with the responsibility to ensure a peaceful campaign and election in the state,” he added.

“I am appealing to political parties and politicians to cooperate with the anti-thuggery committee in its efforts to ensure peaceful electioneering campaigns and elections in the state.”
