Thugs attack Kwankwaso’s campaign convoy in Kano

Suspected thugs have 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 in Kano, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, during a campaign visit to Bichi Local Government Area.
The incident was confirmed by the spokesperson for the NDC governorship candidate, Comrade Ibrahim Garba Shu’aibu.

Shu’aibu said the campaign team had earlier visited Tofa, Rimingado, Kabo, Gwarzo, Shanono and Bagwai local government areas without any disruption.

According to him, the team received information that their route to Bichi had been blocked by individuals opposed to the campaign rally.

He said that upon arriving in the area, members of the campaign team noticed signs of stone-throwing before proceeding past the local government secretariat, where some youths allegedly emerged with weapons and attacked the convoy.

Shu’aibu claimed that several members of the campaign team sustained injuries during the attack, while a number of vehicles were vandalised.

He said he personally saw about seven vehicles that had been smashed during the incident.

The police had yet to issue an official statement on the alleged attack as of the time this report was filed.
