APC Chieftain In Kano Who Allegedly Led Thugs To Loot Property Identified As Baffa Agundi Who Is Also Tinubu, Ganduje's Ally

----By Sahara reporters

August 3, 2024
SaharaReporters had on Friday reported that the APC chieftain who also took photographs with Ganduje and 2023 governorship candidate, Dr Nasiru Gawuna, was seen vandalising government property and attempting to lead violent thugs into the Government House in Kano State.

An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Baffa Babba Dan Agundi, who is also a prominent ally of President Bola Tinubu and former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, has been identified as the APC chieftain who allegedly led a group of thugs to disrupt the #EndBadGovernance peaceful protest in the state on Thursday.






SaharaReporters had on Friday reported that the APC chieftain who also took photographs with Ganduje and 2023 governorship candidate, Dr Nasiru Gawuna, was seen vandalising government property and attempting to lead violent thugs into the Government House in Kano State.




Some hoodlums had on Thursday hijacked the initially peaceful #EndBadGovernance protest in the state.



They broke into several shops in the metropolis and looted food items.



The hoodlums also vandalised and looted valuables at government establishments, including a court records office at the Audu Bako Secretariat Complex at the State Road.



Meanwhile, concerned citizens in Kano accused Agundi of being behind the looting.



Agundi was the Director in charge of Tinubu's support groups in northwest and a former state House of Assembly member.



He was also along with his elder brother, Aminu Babba Dan'agundi arrested in 2007 in relation to the death of late Hajiya Sa'adatu Rimi, the wife of first civilian Governor of Kano State, late Alhaji Abubakar Rimi.



The duo were later discharged by the court, but the murder case of late Saadatu Rimi remained inconclusive till date as her two brothers, Sambo and Bamanga had resigned to fate in securing justice for their sister.



The protesters had gathered to voice their grievances against the government, but the demonstration took a violent turn when Dan Agundi, a public servant, allegedly arrived with a group of hoodlums.



Witnesses claim that the protesters' peaceful assembly was abruptly interrupted by the group, leading to chaos and violence.



The concerned citizens have also criticised the Kano Commissioner of Police, accusing him of granting Dan Agundi permission to lead the protesters despite being aware that the demonstration was directed against the federal government.



The decision has raised questions about the impartiality and judgment of the police in handling public demonstrations.



Earlier, Dan Agundi was quoted saying that he was leading the protesters to the palace of Emir Aminu Bayero to lodge a complaint, which they hoped would be forwarded to President Tinubu.



He reportedly assured the crowd that the protest would proceed regardless of the weather, emphasizing their determination to make their voices heard.



Eyewitnesses reported seeing Dan Agundi among the protesters, surrounded by the alleged hoodlums, who disrupted the peaceful demonstration.



The incident has sparked widespread condemnation from concerned citizens, who argue that the actions of Dan Agundi and his group undermined the rights of the protesters to express their opinions peacefully.



As the situation develops, the public is calling for a thorough investigation into the events that transpired and for those responsible for the violence to be held accountable.



Baffa Babba Dan'agundi, who was recently appointed as the CEO of a Federal Agency ( National Productivity Centre) was sighted in a viral video making utterances and his plans to create chaos in Kano.



The Kano concerned citizens through thier Spokesman Comrade Ghali Aliyu Bala Dantata, called on the Amnesty International and other human right organisations to file for the prosecution of Baffa Dan'agundi and charge him for culpable homicide.

Hypocrisy na bad thing, now you are supporting the same people you accuse of sympathizing with Boko Haram to protest?

You are now an advocate of The Almijiris that you so detest, because of your personal hate for yourself & President Tinubu Nigeria should face anarchy?

Just because e dey pain una say una lose election?

Na wah! This Baf person don cause plenty wahala for APC name.

But make we no forget say na individuals dey misbehave, no be the whole party.

Kano people go make their choice wisely, as always.

We envision how the Hypocrite intends to play reverse psychology, it is not the same Governor that supported the protesters because he wants to give a dog a bad name?

Things have gotten out of hand in Kano, the Governor has placed a curfew the same animals he supported have now shown they are lawless animals.

So now they have to change the narrative & have shifted the blame to APC, it was a supposed peaceful protest of glue sniffing Almijiris until APC came abi?

Normal level na. Same way Tinubu has used Mc Oluomo in Lagos for years.

APC is a party of thugs.

APC is a party of thugs.

Pdp and LP are parry of angels because their members are not Nigerians like APC abi? Nonsense confused hypocrisy, your hypocrisy will only keep you in self bondage, it is them, not me.

We know how the Hypocrite tries to play reverse psychology, it is not the same Governor that supported the protesters because he wants to give a dog a bad name?

Things have gotten out of hand in Kano, the Governor has placed a curfew the animals he supported have now shown they are lawless animals.

So now they have to find a scapegoat, & have shifted the blame to APC, it was a supposed peaceful protest of glue sniffing Almijiris until APC showed up abi?

This is just another attempt to tarnish the image of APC.

We all know that political thuggery is not exclusive to any party. Let's focus on the achievements of the APC in Kano instead of sensationalizing isolated incidents. Baf is just a scapegoat in this narrative.

Sowore, you go dey alright.
-Kiss the truth!

Sowore is an incurable liar. The governor encouraged his people to go to the streets and they did.

Everyone don see una finish. That "sophistication" some people thought you had has been rubbished and exposed.

Thank you Tinubu.

Balablu!!! ✌🏼
