No fewer than six members of the
Kwankwasiyya and Gandujiyya groups of the All Progressives Congress were on
Sunday injured in Kano following a clash between the two groups.
Kwankwasiyya are supporters of
the former governor, Musa Kwankwaso, while Gandujiyya are supporters of the
incumbent governor, Umar Ganduje
The incident occurred around 11am
at Chiranchi quarters in the Gwale Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the fight
ensued when one of the groups allegedly attacked the other.
This led to the injuring of a
junior brother of the Commissioner of Special Duties, Abdullahi Abbas, and many
others.
An eyewitness told the News
Agency of Nigeria in Kano on Sunday that the incident happened after some
members in the group arrived at the area to attend two separate weddings.
“The Kwankwasiyya followers
attended one and the Gandujiyya group attended another wedding ceremony.
“The one attended by Kwankwasiyya
members was contracted first. So, while they were leaving the area, they ran
into the Gandujiyya group who were at another marriage.
“They exchanged few words and
fight ensued leading to six persons being injured”, the source said.
Public Relations Officer in the
state, DSP Magaji Majiya, confirmed the incident.
He, however, declined further
comments as investigations were still ongoing.
“I don’t have details of the
clash. I will communicate to you as soon as I get details of the unfortunate
incident.
“The injured persons were earlier
treated at the Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital,” Majiya said.
