The All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Assembly Candidate in Kajuru Mr Madaki and Vice chairman of APC in Kajuru Local Government Area, Reuben Waziri have been kidnapped.
The duo who were part of a campaign team, were kidnapped at Tashar Icce, a few meters from Kujama community in Kajuru Area of Kaduna State.
The Campaign Director-General of Kaduna APC Governorship candidate Uba Sani, Sani Maina, Ahmed Maiyaki, and a few others who were in the team, however, escaped.
A relative of the kidnapped Vice Chairman, Ben Maigari, said the bandits have yet to make contacts with them.
The campaign team was returning from Kafanchan after a political meeting with Christian leaders in Southern Senatorial District, on Thursday.
A politician, who escaped the attack, described the incident as terrible, saying about five vehicles were affected. He said the bandits opened fire sporadically.
“They were attacked; the bandits blocked the road and opened fire on the entourage and other moving vehicles. My brother, Reuben, was abducted alongside Madaki because they were in the same vehicle,” he said.
Two other buses were attacked around the same time, with two people feared killed while others were taken into the forest.
The State Police Command is yet to make a statement on the incident.
