Many people were injured in Biu town during the distribution of palliatives in Biu Local Government Area of Borno State at the weekend.
Senator Ali Ndume who represents Borno South Senatorial District revealed this in Maiduguri on Monday, saying “it was unfortunate for this incident to happen in Biu.”
He said: “Over a dozen of my supporters were injured at the weekend when the main gate of Biu Local Government Lodge collapsed in the process of sharing palliatives.
“All the hospital bills of the injured were settled to enable my supporters to return to their communities safely.
“My intention was to meet the delegates and assure them of more dividends of democracy if given the mandate again.
