Many people have reportedly been wounded in an attack on the convoy of Rabiu Kwankwaso, senator representing Kano central barely 36 hours to the 2019 Presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday.
Police public relations officer in the state, Abdullahi Haruna, confirmed the incident which happened at Kofa village in Bebeji local government area of Kano on Thursday.
Kwankwaso, a former governor of the state, was said to have led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members to the area for a campaign rally when suspected thugs attacked his convoy.
Details of the attack are still unfolding. The former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has a huge following in Kano, a stronghold of the ruling party.
His Kwankwasiya movement flooded the Sani Abacha stadium in the ancient city with crowd when Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP, campaigned in the state two weeks ago.
