Sani stated this while addressing journalists in Kebbi State Government House on Monday, saying no arrest was made so far regarding the incidence, but that investigation is still ongoing.
According to him, “Reason for Governor Nasir Idris to summon the security meeting was about one incident that happened around GRA by some political thugs, and also some political parties violating the ban on the use siren and the issue of political campaign.
That is why we want to invite the political parties for a meeting to discuss, because there is no lifting of ban on political campaign.
According to him, the police have already set up security to enforce the ban on political campaign and appealed to the political parties to play by the rules.
However, spokesperson of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State, Alhaji Isah Asalafy, in a statement, condemned the so-called attack on the former minister’s convoy.
“We don’t know who the attackers are and where they came from, because APC is a peaceful and law-abiding political party, we don’t engage in such acts of barbarism”.
