According to him, armed hoodlums, suspected to be members of the proscribed Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), attacked law-abiding citizens and had prevented motorists from plying the route.
He said the hoodlums in a large number were intercepted harassing innocent citizens on March 16 at about 3 p.m. when the convoy of Governor El-Rufai arrived at the scene.
The police spokesperson stated that the hoodlums on sighting the convoy began firing weapons and threw stones which hit several private vehicles in the convoy.
“The security operatives professionally contained the miscreants without the use of force.
“Some of the hoodlums were arrested and investigation is in progress,” Jalige said.
