The duo also demanded that the SSA and Usman Ayuba must take full responsibilities and pay for the damages of the destroyed properties.
The winning Coordinator Elect, who claimed he has pictorial evidence, also alleged that Usman Ayuba has paid some thugs to kill Mohammed Yusuf, CPC Chairman, on the same issue.
Faruk said Usman Ayuba must desist from parading himself as the coordinator of NANS Zone A, adding that “his failure to do that will amount to mobilising Nigerians to do the needful on the matter”

The election involved 10 states and was held at Abdulsalam Abubakar Youth Centre, Minna, Niger State.
However, the valuation of the destruction unleashed by some hoodlums the SSA was alleged to have mobilised was put at N1,200,000.00 only.
ReportersAtLarge gathered that copies of the petition have been recieved in the offices of Inspector General of Police IGP and Director General of Department of State Service DG DSS.
