Angry constituents attack Zamfara lawmaker over alleged neglect and poor performance (video)



Angry constituents in Dansadau town, Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State, attacked a state lawmaker over alleged poor performance and neglect. The lawmaker, Kabiru Mikailu, who represents Maru South Constituency in the Zamfara State House of Assembly, was assaulted by residents when he accompanied Governor Dauda Lawal on a historic visit to the troubled community on Tuesday, December 17, 2025.  The visit was aimed at flagging off key development projects in the area.  The angry residents accused the legislator of neglecting the area since his election, alleging that he failed to visit the community or engage with constituents during major events. Some residents claimed that the lawmaker neither attended Sallah festivities in the town nor visited to commiserate with families affected by repeated bandit attacks in the area. In a viral video, the lawmaker was being slapped and manhandled by the angry mob.  The enraged residents could be heard shouting bamayi in Hausa, a term often used to express rejection or anger. Security operatives were said to have intervened to restore calm and prevent further escalation of the situation.       View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial) The post Angry constituents attack Zamfara lawmaker over alleged neglect and poor performance (video) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
