The lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has accused the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, of being behind the attack on him on Saturday.
Sani said El-Rufai should be held responsible for whatever happens to him.
The Constituency Office of Sani, who has had a running battle with El-Rufai, leading to an indefinite suspension by the All Progressives Congress earlier in the week, was attacked on Saturday by gunmen.
In a post on his Facebook page on Saturday, Sani wrote: “Some few minutes ago, I received a report that some armed thugs raided and attacked my constituency office located at Stadium Roundabout by Constitution Road, Kaduna. They unleashed terror on my social media team, who were meeting in the office. They vandalised the office.
“We have information that the thugs were fully recruited and paid by political appointees of Governor Nasiru el-Rufai. We have the names of the political appointees and we have the names of those they are funding. Right now, their details have been given to the Department of State Services and the police for investigation.
“Two days ago, an attempt to burn my family house in Alkalawa Road, Tudun Wada, Kaduna, by sponsored thugs, was thwarted by vigilant residents and neighbours, which led to the brief deployment of policemen in the area.
“I wish to state categorically clear that I hold Governor Nasiru el-Rufai personally responsible for whatever happens to me or any of my family members or supporters. After the use of financial inducement on APC executive in the state to silence Shehu Sani in the name of suspension, which never worked, they have now taken the road of violence.”
