Suspected bandits attacked the convoy of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, resulting in a gun duel with the security operatives attached to him.
The incident happened on Tuesday, along Shema in Katsina State on their way back to Kano from Zamfara State.
The bandits had blocked Zamfara, Katsina and Kano Road, around Shema while Ganduje was not in the convoy as he attended the formal defection of Governor Bello Matawale of Zamfara into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to reports, he joined Jigawa State Governor, Muhammadu Abubakar Badaru, back to Kano, after the occasion.
In the ensuing gun duel, three police officers sustained minor bullet injuries, while the convoy ambulance was riddled with bullets.
Another vehicle was said to have lost its tires after being hit by bullets. It however managed to drive to a safer place before they changed their tires.
