Gunmen have killed two people and abducted the All Progressives Congress Chairman of Rogo Local Government Area of Kano State, Alhaji Abdullahi Fanka, in a fresh overnight attack on the community.
The latest attack came barely 24 hours after gunmen killed the APC Chairman of Rantan Ward in Bebeji Local Government Area, Alhaji Garba Buba, and another resident, Sulaiman Zunduma.
The Rogo attack reportedly occurred around 11pm on Monday when the gunmen invaded the area and opened sporadic fire, sending residents fleeing for safety.
A resident, who spoke with PUNCH Metro on Tuesday on condition of anonymity for security reasons, said the attackers killed two people who attempted to prevent them from abducting Fanka.
“The two people killed couldn’t stop them from whisking away the party chairman because they were in possession of sophisticated weapons,” the resident said.
