Alhaji Sagir Hamidu, an former governorship aspirant in Zamfara State, has been shot dead by bandits.
He was killed when bandits blocked the Kaduna-Abuja Highway and opened fire on travellers, on Sunday.
ABN TV gathered that the incident occurred around 3:30pm close to Rijana along the busy highway.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that Rijana, a former FCT Director of Protocol who was also a Zamfara State Governorship aspirant, lost his life in the incident.
A Facebook user, Kabeer Gambo Rigasa, wrote: “ALHAMDULILLAH, ALHAMDULILLAH, Escaped Being Kidnapped Along Abuja To Kaduna Road Around 3:30pm Today.”
Other eyewitnesses said the bandits had operated unchallenged for over an hour.
