Doguwa, who is the chairman, House Committee on Petroleum (Upstream),
lamented that the latest incident occurred on August 28, 2025, when suspected political thugs invaded Tasarrufi General Enterprise, a factory in Tudun Wada local government area of the state.
“The assailants allegedly injured workers and destroyed property, leaving many residents in fear of further violence,” he said.
According to him the attack was not an isolated event but part of a larger pattern of intimidation targeted at APC members in Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency.
He accused the leadership of the ruling New Nigeria People’s Party at the local level of orchestrating the violence, singling out the chairperson of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Kano State chapter, Hajiya Sa’adatu Salisu Yusha’u.
Doguwa alleged that Yusha’u personally led the attackers to the scene, where she purportedly ordered the firing of shots at innocent individuals during what was described as a demolition exercise.

He further alleged that the APC Chairman of Tudun Wada Local Government, Alhaji Suyudi Umar, was deliberately targeted in the violence.
“This is barbaric and unacceptable. No one, no matter how highly placed, is above the law. We cannot continue to condone acts that put the lives of our people and the stability of our democracy at risk,” Doguwa said, while calling for urgent intervention from security agencies.
He further called on President Bola Tinubu and the national leadership of the APC to take the matter seriously, stressing that democracy thrives only when citizens can freely associate with the political party of their choice without intimidation or violence.
Doguwa urged his constituents to remain calm and law-abiding while awaiting the outcome of police investigations.
In response to the lawmaker’s petition, the Kano State Police Command confirmed that it has launched a full scale investigation into the matter.
