The Gombe state secretariat of the People Democratic Party (PDP) was on Monday night set ablaze by some suspected political thugs in the state.
The PDP state office which is along Bauchi Road as well as Atiku House were both set on fire which damages documents, chairs and other valuables.
According to Muntari Yau Kulsi, a loyal supporter of the PDP, said the office was set on fire at around 1:30 am.
He told Dandal Kura Radio International that the secretariat was running on till 1:20 am that he left the office.
When asked about the origin or source of the fire Kulsi laughed and said, “the source is All Progressives Congress (APC) and its people.
He also said Both offices that are about four kilometres away from each other cannot naturally catch fire at once”.
He further said that ‘Our guys here saw the thugs, they came in three cars with several weapons, the security guard stationed at the office were overpowered by the thugs and had to run for their lives.”
He explained that while men of the fire service close to the office battle to control the inferno, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of the Pantami division was quickly at the scene.
