BREAKING: Bandits Attack Ganduje’s Convoy
On their journey back to Kano from Zamfara State, security personnel attached to the convoy of Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and some heavily armed bandits engaged in a gunfight along Shema in Katsina State.
Despite the fact that Ganduje was not in the convoy, it was attacked by bandits on Tuesday in Shema, who blocked the Zamfara, Katsina, and Kano Roads.
Governor Ganduje was in Zamfara State to witness Governor Bello Matawale of Zamfara’s formal defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
However, after the occasion, he joined Jigawa State Governor, Muhammadu Abubakar Badaru, back to Kano.
A source hinted that Governor Ganduje was not happy that his convoy did not fill their tanks for the return journey and he ordered them to proceed while he joined Badaru..
However, on their way back to Kano, the convoy came under heavy gun attacks from the bandits, but was repealed by the security in the Kano Government convoy.
In the ensuing gun duel, three police officers sustained minor bullet injuries, while the convoy ambulance was riddled with bullets.
Another vehicle was said to have lost its tires after being hit by bullets. It however managed to drive to a safer place before they changed their tires.
