The North East Regional Minister, Ibrahim Tia, has provided a chilling account of the distressing events that occurred during his visit to Walewale, amidst the tensions and violent attacks that have heightened in the town since the imposition of a curfew.
Recounting the details of his ordeal on Adom FM on Monday, February 17, 2025, Ibrahim Tia shared that he visited the chief's palace to engage key stakeholders on potential solutions and measures to address the escalating insecurity and growing concerns that had emerged in the town.
He explained that the agitated youth, who gathered in large numbers and appeared angered by the curfew imposed on the township, began violently attacking his vehicle.
