Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South senatorial constituency, has expressed anger following reports that some youths allegedly 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 angry as he complained about being prevented from confronting the youths allegedly involved in the incident.
In the footage, Ndume criticised what he described as disrespectful behaviour, insisting that young people should be taught to respect their elders.
“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.

“This is why we have courts, laws and prisons,” he said.
Expressing his displeasure, Ndume added: “Insulting someone is madness. Is this our first time coming here? Is it politics that brought us here? We will not accept this.”
However, those around him eventually managed to calm him down, after which he continued addressing the gathering in a lighter mood.
