Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje narrowly escaped death as deadly bandits unleashed an attack on his convoy on their way back from Zamfara state.

It was learnt that three security personnel attached to the governor’s convoy sustained varying degrees of injuries.

Ganduje had joined other governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and leadership of the party to officially receive the Zamfara State Governor Bello Muhammad Mattawale who recently defected to the APC.

The Kano State Commissioner of Information, Muhammad Garba confirmed the development to newsmen in the state but noted that Governor Ganduje was not in the convoy attack.
