Thugs Open Fire On Air Marshal Sadique’s Convoy In Gov Bala’s Village

Suspected hired thugs, using dane guns , opened fire on the convoy of the Bauchi state gubernatorial candidate of APC, Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubukar, in Duguri the birth place of the incumbent Bauchi state, Sen. Bala Mohammed.

According to eyewitnesses, sounds of sporadic shootings were heard around the premises where campaign lecture was being held, which made the security operatives at the venue to rush to the scene of the shootings where, in an attempt to disarm the thugs and retrieve the guns from them, three people were shot: one Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps officer;  one from a vigilance group and one from the hunters union.

However, the NSCDC operatives succeeded in recovering two dane guns from the thugs while others escaped with their own guns.

All the three victims who sustained gunshot injuries are currently receiving medical attention at ATBU Teaching Hospital, Bauchi.

It will be recalled that the same pattern of attacks, suspected to be sponsored, were carried out on Air Marshal Sadique’s convoy last month in Akuyam, the home village of the state chairman of PDP.
