He appealed to party supporters and politicians in the state to shun politics of violence and thuggery, to ensure peaceful conduct of the forthcoming general elections.

 

The former CBN governor turn monarch called on security agencies in the state to intensify efforts in fishing out the culprits behind the sad incident and ensure that all those found guilty faced the full wrath of the law.

The Public Relations Officer of Kano State Police Command, DSP Haruna Abdullahi, confirmed that 20 vehicles were burnt and 18 others were vandalised during the fracas.

Senator Kwankwaso and the gubernatorial candidate were said to have escaped unharmed. No fewer than 16 cars were allegedly destroyed by the thugs.

Also speaking to Vanguard, the spokesperson of Senator Kwankwaso, Hajiya Binta Spikin who was part of the convoy said they were attacked along their way to a political rally at Kwanan Dangora.
