Kwankwaso, Gwarzo’s Campaign Convoy Attacked 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 the state, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.

The attack occurred during a campaign visit to Bichi Local Government Area of Kano State.

The spokesperson for the NDC governorship candidate, Comrade Ibrahim Garba Shu’aibu, confirmed the incident.

He 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 a report that some people opposed to the campaign rally had blocked the road leading to Bichi.

Shu’aibu said that when the team arrived in Bichi, they noticed signs of stone-throwing but continued past the local government secretariat.

He alleged that some angry youths, armed with weapons, later emerged and attacked the convoy.

The spokesperson said some campaign team members were injured and several vehicles were vandalised.

He added that about seven vehicles were smashed during the attack.

The police had yet to react to the incident as of the time of filing this report.
