Bandits kill Zamfara 2023 guber aspirant
A 2023 governorship aspirant in Zamfara State has been shot dead by armed bandits.
Sagir Hamidu was killed on Sunday when the assailants opened fire on travellers along the ever-busy Kaduna-Abuja Highway.
According to Daily Trust, he was killed alongside other travellers.
A Facebook user, Kabeer Gambo Rigasa, raised the alarm via a post on his page saying, “ALHAMDULILLAH, ALHAMDULILLAH. Escaped Being Kidnapped Along Abuja to Kaduna Road around 3:30pm today.”
Bandits have resumed attacking travelers along the busy highway, killing and abducting many, including emirs and other very important personalities.
