Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, has expressed anger following an alleged incident in which some youths threw stones at him during a gathering in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
A video circulating on social media showed the senator visibly upset as he complained about being prevented from confronting the youths allegedly responsible for the incident.
In the footage, Ndume criticised what he described as disrespectful behaviour, insisting that younger people should respect their elders and that such conduct had not previously been witnessed in the community.
“We have never witnessed this kind of thing in Gwoza. Does anyone have two fathers? I have only one father in Gwoza. We will not allow ourselves to be humiliated,” he said.
The senator also emphasised the need for discipline and respect for the law, pointing out that established legal institutions exist to address offences and misconduct.
“This is why we have courts, laws and prisons,” Ndume stated.
Expressing further displeasure, he questioned whether political differences were responsible for the incident and insisted that he would not accept what he considered an attempt to humiliate him.
“Insulting someone is madness. Is this our first time coming here? Is it politics that brought us here? We will not accept this,” he added.
People around the senator were eventually able to calm him down, after which he continued addressing the gathering in a lighter mood.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged stone-throwing incident, including the identities and motives of those involved, remain unclear.
There has also been no independent confirmation of the allegation that stones were thrown at the senator, beyond the account accompanying the circulating video.
