Thugs allegedly hired by Kano State Govt to organise pro- subsidy removal rally fought over the sharing of 'largesse'

According to Premium Times , drama ensued at
the venue as thugs allegedly hired by the state
government to organise the openly disagreed
over the sharing of the largesse after the event.
"The crisis began when the thugs, who
were over 100, and were waiting to
collect their payments, found that the
money was handed over by the sponsors
to somebody who was not their leader.
PREMIUM TIMES could not ascertain how
much the thugs were given by their
sponsor to share and how much each of
them was to receive. The rally was
attended by the Kano State
Commissioner of Information,
Muhammadu Garba; Head of Service,
Auwalu Naiyya; the Executive Secretary
of Kano Pilgrims Welfare Board, Abba
Yakubu and many other top government
officials. When contacted by our
correspondent, Mr. Garba declined
comment on the matter. In response to
an SMS from our correspondent, the
commissioner merely said, “no wahala
(problem), go ahead.”
The Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress
in Kano, Kabiru Minjibir, said the
congress was not involved in the
organisation of the rally, alleging that
those invited were members of the
National Youth Council."
