The senator representing Kaduna
North, Suleiman Hunkuyi, on Sunday escaped being killed by ‘thugs’ during a
political gathering of stakeholders and leaders of the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC), in Kaduna state.
Hunkuyi told his supporters
during the meeting to resist an alleged plan to impose candidates on them
during the APC congresses scheduled from May 5, 2018.
However, thugs chanting, “Kaduna
sai Uba Sani, Kaduna Sai El-Rufai in 2019″, stormed ENDwell Hotel in the city
centre, venue of the meeting, brandishing all kinds of weapons and throwing
stones on those at the meeting.
Those who sustained injuries are
receiving treatment at Barau Dikko and Garkuwa hospitals in the metropolis and
many vehicles were destroyed by the suspects.
Confirming the incidents to the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Jame Obute, media aide to the Sen. Hunkuyi, said
that the vehicle of Tijjani Ramalan, chairman of ATAR Communication and leader
of Hunkuyi’s APC faction, was vandalised.
The commissioner of police in the
state, Austin Iwar, also confirmed the attack.
Iwar said, “Sen. Hunkuyi had
lodged a complaint with the police.”
The commissioner, however,
declined further comments.
