Those who witnessed the lawmakers’ public fight disclosed to us that they were fighting over the distribution of relief materials meant for Internally Displaced People (IDPs).

We gathered that due to the recent bomb blasts that rocked Madagali, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) had set aside relief materials to assist the communities affected and arrangements were also made for all the stakeholders to go in a team by air to deliver the relief materials, while NEMA officials supervised the delivery.

Our source said: “A helicopter was arranged by the Air Force to convey some of the stakeholders to where the materials were to be distributed on Wednesday. However, minutes before the take-off, drama ensued at the airport. Kamale was billed to travel on board the helicopter with Senator Abdulaziz Nyako, Air Commodore Sunday Ohemu and others.”

“But, while they were about to board the helicopter, Senator Abdulaziz Nyako was seen saying that, ‘Kamale should not be allowed to use the helicopter as he (Nyako) is the chairman of the delegation.’ This caused drama and hot argument.”
