The convoy of the governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, came under attack from bandits on Tuesday night.
Sources at the Government House however said the governor was not in the convoy at the time of the attack.
Daily Trust reported that three policemen sustained injuries in the attack which happened after the convoy was making its way to Kano from Zamfara State, where a mass defection rally was held on Tuesday.
Ganduje reportedly joined the convoy of his Jigawa State counterpart, Abubakar Badaru, after the mega rally in Gusau.
A government house official said, “You know because the place was rowdy after the event which had many state governors in attendance. His Excellency, Gov Ganduje, joined his friend, Governor Badaru, and they both arrived in Kano hours before the Kano convoy arrived.”
It was learnt that dozens of gunmen who barricaded the road, opened fire immediately they sighted the convoy.
