LG Chairman Escapes Death As Thugs Invade, Burn Secretariat
A group of people, described by the Kano State Police Command as “faceless intruders”, has attacked the secretariat of Gwale local government area of the State following the reinstatement of the embattled chairman of LGA, Khalid Ishaq, on Wednesday.
The development comes after a fire outbreak had earlier gutted part of the secretariat building earlier on Wednesday morning.
Ishaq, who was elected chairman of Gwale Local Government Area during the immediate-past administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was suspended by the Kano State House of Assembly (KNHA) for three months. His suspension followed a petition written by Councillors of the local government council and submitted to the KNHA accusing him of alleged involvement in illegal sales of land.
As the three-month period of suspension elapses, he sought legal redress to which the court ruled in his favour and ordered his reinstatement.
The council chairman told newsmen in Kano on Wednesday that after his reinstatement by the court, he also sought Police protection while resuming his office at the secretariat.

“We later came to understand that some people stormed the place while I was inside. They were trying to cause chaos,” he stated.
17 offices and some vehicles worth millions of Naira were said to have been burned down as the Police have promised to fish out the perpetrators.
Meanwhile, the Gwale Local Government Secretariat has been taken over by armed security personnel while activities at the place were put on hold.
