A visit by Zamfara State Deputy Governor Malam Mani Mummuni to Gwashi community in Bukkuyum Local Government Area turned violent on Sunday. Residents, angered by the security situation, jeered the deputy governor and his convoy, attacking the motorcade and damaging vehicles. The deputy governor narrowly escaped, though a vehicle was destroyed.
The community, one of the largest political wards, has long complained about a lack of government action on security and development. The deputy governor was accompanied by security personnel who kept residents away from his address on insecurity issues. Analysts warn that the incident could have serious political consequences ahead of the 2027 elections, given the deep-rooted mistrust among residents who feel abandoned by the government due to repeated attacks and kidnappings.
