Persons suspected to be political thugs on Friday morning blocked Senator Danjuma Goje from entering his home State, Gombe.
The former Governor, who left Abuja on Saturday morning, was attacked with dangerous weapons and his car damaged.
It was learnt that Senator Goje left Abuja on Saturday morning for a personal engagement.
As he was about to enter into Gombe, the Gombe State capital, he ran into some political thugs who had made bonfire with tyres around the International Conference Center on Bauchi-Gombe Road.
According to one of his aides, Lilian Nworie, the Senator’s vehicles were blocked by some thugs suspected to be loyal to Governnor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State.
It was alleged that policemen stationed at the area refused to call the thugs to order as they watched them cause mayhem in the state.
