A thug beat up a journalist inside the Adamawa Government House
A person named Hamidu Mukhtari, who is suspected to be a political party member, beat up a journalist named Ibrahim Mr. Ali at the Adamawa state government house.
Hamidu, popularly known as Dogo, is said to have beaten Ali because of his criticism of the state governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri. Ali met with Dogo's anger during a press conference convened by the secretary of the state government, Awwal Tukur.
In addition, it is not since today that Dogo has been threatening Ali for publishing bad news against Umaru Fintiri's government.
Ali told me that Dogo slapped him and strangled him in front of the security officers of the state government palace who later intervened and he let me go.
Also, Dogo is said to be notorious for abusing anyone he considers to be an enemy of the state governor.
In addition, Dogo is currently charged before the NDLEA and was granted bail in 2021 after he was arrested with a large quantity of marijuana in his house.
The state NDLEA commander, Muhammed Bello confirmed this statement, adding that Dogo was arrested with 166 kilograms of marijuana and will be brought before the court.
Also, Dogo was accused of involvement in the abduction and abuse of DSS chief Halilu Musa and the abuse of INEC commissioner, Professor Zuru during the second round of governorship election in Afiliu, which resulted in and conflict in the state.
The press secretary of the state governor, Humwashi Wonosiko, was contacted about the matter but he did not say a word, stating that the conflict between Dogo and Ali did not affect the state government.
