  "account": "Jamil Jadda Garko, chairman of the Da Hannu Na Political Mobilisation Group under the Arewa for Asiwaju Platform, reportedly escaped an alleged mob attack in Bauchi State during a solidarity rally. The incident occurred after the group organized a road show in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, visiting seven North-West states. The peaceful procession, protected by security personnel, aimed to distribute relief materials to a correctional centre, rehabilitation centre, and an orphanage. However, the organisers allege that suspected thugs attacked members of the delegation, preventing them from carrying out the humanitarian activities. Reacting to the incident, Garko threatened to report the matter to several high-ranking officials. The alleged attackers reportedly had links with the state government, though this has not been independently verified. Details of the alleged attack, including injuries or arrests, remain unclear. The situation has raised concerns about the safety of political groups engaging in peaceful activities and humanitarian visits. As of the report filing, there was no official statement from the Bauchi State Government.",
