BREAKING: Thugs attack Kwankwaso’s convoy in Kano
Suspected thugs attacked the campaign convoy of former Kano State Governor and National Democratic Congress (NDC) vice-presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and the party’s governorship candidate, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, during a campaign visit to Bichi Local Government Area of the state on Sunday.
The spokesperson of the NDC governorship candidate, Comrade Ibrahim Garba Shu’aibu, confirmed the incident.
He said the campaign team had successfully visited Tofa, Rimingado, Kabo, Gwarzo, Shanono and Bagwai local government areas without any disruption.
According to him, the team received a report that their road to Bichi had been blocked by some people who were opposed to the campaign rally.
He said upon arriving in Bichi, the team noticed signs of stone-throwing before proceeding past the local government secretariat, where some angry youths, armed with weapons, emerged and attacked the convoy.
Shu’aibu alleged that the attackers injured some members of the campaign team and vandalised several vehicles.
He said he saw about seven vehicles smashed during the attack.
The Police have not reacted to the incident as of the time of filing this report.
