Gunmen on Thursday evening attacked the convoy of Mouktar Lugga, chief of staff to the Zamfara governor, along the Funtua–Gusau highway.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency
publication covering the Lake Chad region, the incident happened around 6:16pm
near Kucheri village, as Lugga was returning to Gusau from an official
engagement.
“Sources said the assailants emerged from both sides of the
road and opened fire on the vehicle conveying the chief of staff, his driver
and two other occupants,” the report reads.
“A bullet reportedly pierced the vehicle’s windshield and
narrowly missed the driver, while another attacker attempted to fire at close
range but the weapon failed to discharge.”
The publication said despite the attack, “the driver managed
to steer the vehicle out of the ambush, and all occupants escaped unhurt”.
