Thugs injure 17 persons, damage 17 vehicles in Kano APC convoy attack

Seventeen people have sustained injuries while 17 vehicles were vandalised as thugs attacked the convoy of Kano Central senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdussalam Abdulkarim.

Abdulkarim, fondly called AA Zaura, escaped unhurt in the attack.

The incident took place on Saturday in Gayawa village, Kano State.

Zaura’s media aide, Ibrahim Mua’azzam, stated that the incident occurred when they were returning from a condolence visit.

“Our interim assessment of the damage caused by this inimical act has so far revealed 17 minor and major casualties.

“The major casualties are undergoing treatment at the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital. We also have 17 cars damaged,” he said.

The Director General of AA Zaura Campaign Organisation, Yahaya Adamu Garin Ali, in a December 17 petition to the police, charged the Kano State Commissioner of Police for a thorough investigation.
