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 report by PUNCH Metro quoted a resident to have 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.
The incident has heightened concerns over the security situation in Kano, with suspected kidnappers and bandits carrying out a series of attacks in different communities in the state within days.
