The Zamfara anti-thuggery committee carried out the demolition exercise.
The committee, which was established by Governor Bello Matawalle to fight thuggery and other acts of violence in the state, said it demolished the campaign office because it was being used for illegal activities.
In an interview with journalists on Sunday, chairman of the committee, Bello Bakyasuwa, said the committee received intelligence reports that the building was being used as a criminal hideout.
“Based on the available intelligence report to my committee on the party campaign office which we demolished today, it indicated that the occupants are selling spare parts of stolen vehicles, motorcycles and drugs,” NAN quoted him as saying.
“We even recovered some women clothes during a raid of the said office.”
Bakyasuwa also said the committee is working round the clock to fight political thuggery and ensure a hitch-free electioneering campaign by all political parties in the state.
“As the election draws nearer, my committee is saddled with the responsibility to ensure a peaceful campaign and election in the state.
“I am appealing to political parties and politicians to cooperate with the anti-thuggery committee in its efforts to ensure peaceful electioneering campaigns and elections in the state,” he added.
