The former Senator representing
Kano Central and ex-Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was reportedly
attacked during a visit to his hometown, Madobi where he opened a midwifery
school.
Kwankwaso was attacked
by thugs around Sharada Panshekara Sabon Titi bridge on Monday October 21.
Kwankwaso’s media aide
,Hajiya Binta Sipikin, who alleged that the attack was carried out by thugs
loyal to Governor Umar Ganduje, said 8 people were injured during the violent
attack in which many cars were destroyed.
She said, “This attack
was preplanned because we were told that heavy armed thugs were waiting under
the bridge to attack us when we were coming from Madobi.
“We believe Ganduje
was behind this attack because we heard one of his aide names being mentioned
during the attack.”
