Chairman of Katcha local government area of Niger State, Hon Danlamin Abdullahi Saku, has been beaten to stupor over alleged N1.3m debt.
Analystnews gathered that the chairman allegedly borrowed the sun money N1.3m over a year ago from an elderly person in his village whose moves to get back the money proved abortive.
An eye witness explained that the incident began when the chairman arrived at the village for the Sallah celebration, the elderly man sent his children for refund of his money from the Chairman.
The eye witness alleged that the Chairman slapped one of the young boys asking him if he knew he is the Chairman of the council and threatening to deal with them.
He further said that the boys and their friends, apparently angered by the attitude of the chairman, beat him until he lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital.
The source also said that while receiving treatment in the hospital, the Chairman has tried to pay up some of the money with a balance of N10,000 left.
Several attempts by Analystnews correspondent in the local government to see the Chairman in the hospital were stalled and calls were not going through.
