Before the incident, Kwankwaso had earlier visited Ogbonicha, the country home of late Abubakar Audu, and had a similar experience.
The party's flagbearer was accused of trying to hide under the cloak of Abubakar to woo supporters of the All Progressives Congress into the NNPP.
However, one of Kwankwaso's media aides, Musa Yunusa, described the action of the supporters as normal in politics.

Meanwhile, executive members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano who had the backing of Kwankwaso before he joined the NNPP had been sent packing by the Court of Appeal.
During a hearing on Monday, August 29, the court sacked the PDP's chairman in the state, Shehu Sagagi, and other executive members of the party months after they were recognised by a ruling of the Federal High Court.
It was gathered that this judgment came on the heels of allegations that Sagagi and other executives were secretly working as spoilers to favour their political godfather, Kwankwaso.
Back in May, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP dissolved the state executive committee and replaced it with a caretaker committee, a decision which was overturned by the Federal High Court.
