Suspected thugs hit the campaign convoy of former Kano governor Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship candidate, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo. The attack came while they were campaigning in Bichi Local Government Area.
Comrade Ibrahim Garba Shu’aibu, spokesperson for the NDC governorship candidate, confirmed the incident. He said the team had already moved through Tofa, Rimingado, Kabo, Gwarzo, Shanono and Bagwai without any problems.
Then word came that opponents had blocked the road into Bichi. Once the convoy reached the area, stones started flying. Just past the local government secretariat, a group of angry youths armed with weapons rushed out and went after the vehicles.
Shu’aibu said the attackers injured several people in the team and wrecked multiple cars. He counted around seven vehicles that were smashed.
Police had not commented on the incident by the time this report was filed.
