The incident, which has since gone viral on social media, unfolded after the commissioner made a post highlighting supposed government achievements, claims that frustrated youths said did not reflect reality.
According to eyewitnesses, the confrontation escalated when the commissioner was confronted at a public event.
The enraged youths accused him of using empty words while failing to deliver on commitments made to them.
Despite attempts by security personnel to restore order, the situation quickly spiraled out of control.
A witness remarked, “We respected the white clothes, but haba! Enough is enough. We are tired of fake promises.”
Videos circulating online show the commissioner being manhandled before security operatives managed to intervene and escort him to safety.
The state government has yet to release an official statement on the incident, but sources indicate that tensions remain high among the youth population.
This attack underscores the growing frustration among Nigerian youths over unfulfilled political pledges, particularly concerning job creation and empowerment programs.
As calls for accountability grow louder, political leaders in Nasarawa and beyond may need to reassess their engagement strategies to prevent further unrest.
