A crowd suspected to be hoodlums, have attacked the convoy of the former Justice Minister and Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami (SAN), in Birnin Kebbi.
Malami’s convoy was attacked on Monday while returning from a condolence visit in the state capital.
Subsequently, the Police Command in the state says it has begun investigation into the reported attack on the convoy of the former minister.
Malami resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) on July 2 and later joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
After an emergency security meeting with security chiefs, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Bello Sani, confirmed that no arrest had been made.
“We have commenced investigation into the attack, and no arrest has been made yet. The governor convened this meeting to review security developments,” Sani said.
He added that incidents occurred around the GRA area involving political party members, linked to breaches of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) campaign regulations.
The commissioner stated that leaders of political parties would be summoned and cautioned against further violations of electoral guidelines.
He stressed that the measures aimed to prevent further violence as the elections draw nearer.
The commissioner also urged political leaders to remain calm and sustain peace and stability in the state.
