The Campaign Office of Mohammed Barde, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the 2023 governorship election in Gombe State, has been set ablaze by suspected political thugs.

Details of the attack are sketchy as of the time of filing this report, but the PDP has blamed it on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Barde confirmed the attack in a statement issued on his behalf by Junaidu Usman Abubakar, Deputy Director-General of Media, Atiku/Dan Barde Campaign Management Council.
Police Public Relations Officer in Gombe, ASP Mahid Mu’azu Abubakar, said investigation had been launched and moves were being made to arrest the perpetrators.
