Suspected thugs on Friday restricted the Senator representing Gombe Central Senatorial District in Gombe State, Muhammad Danjuma Goje from entering his home state.
Goje, who arrived at the Gombe Airport in Lawanti around 10:40 am was in the state to grace a wedding fatihah.
It was learnt that the suspected thugs barricaded the Gombe-Bauchi Highway near the International Conference Centre, set bonfires on the road, denying entry into or outside Gombe, Daily Trust reports.
The hoodlums also reportedly damaged and burnt several vehicles, while scores of persons were said to have sustained various degree of injury.
Thousands of commuters were left stranded in the affected area, as no vehicle was allowed in or outside the state.
Security operatives have been deployed to restore law and order.
The newspaper reports that the relationship between Goje and his erstwhile godson, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has been recently sour over who controls the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
