A staff member of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Bida, Yahaya Dzukogi, has reportedly been assaulted by local security personnel in Niger State following his criticism of Governor Umar Bago over alleged imposition of candidates after the recently concluded primary election.

Dzukogi, from Emi Ajiya Nupe in Bida and a member of the late Alhaji Hamza compound, is a married man with children.

He was seen in a viral video being forced to roll on the ground before being pushed into a van by security operatives.

SaharaReporters gathered that the incident was linked to a video he had earlier released, in which he commented on the outcome of the primary election and raised allegations concerning candidate selection in the state.
