According to reports, gunmen have kidnapped some APC chieftains in Kaduna State along the Kaduna-Kachia route.
On Thursday, while the lawmakers were returning from a meeting with Christian leaders in the Southern Senatorial District, Tashar Icce, a few meters from the Kujama hamlet in the Kajuru Area of the state, was attacked.
According to reports, Senator Uba Sani, a contender for governor, was traveling from Kafanchan to Abuja and was not a member of the delegation that was attacked.
Sani Maina, Sani's Campaign DG, Ahmed Maiyaki, a party chieftain, and a few other people managed to escape unharmed.
Among those abducted are the APC House of Assembly Candidate in Kajuru simply identified as Madaki and the Vice chairman of APC in Kajuru Local Government Area, Ruben Waziri.
Describing the attack as terrible, a politician who escaped the incident said about five vehicles were affected.
He said the bandits opened fire sporadically, adding that three people in the entourage sustained gun injuries while two persons were abducted.
A relative of the vice chairman of APC in Kajuru Local Government Area, Ben Maigari said they were yet to be contacted by the bandits.
“They were attacked; the bandits blocked the road and opened fire on the entourage and other moving vehicles. My brother, Ruben, was abducted alongside Madaki because they were in the same vehicle,” he said.
According to newsmen, two other buses were attacked around the same time, with two people feared killed while others were taken into the forest.
