According to the report, the attack led to the abduction of some All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains in the state.

The attack, according to a source, took place on Thursday at Tashar Icce, some meters away from Kujama community in Kajuru Local Government Area.

THE DAILY VENDOR gathered that the victims were on their way back from political meeting before the incident occurred.

A source said, “The team was on its way back from Kafanchan after a political meeting with Christian leaders in the Southern Senatorial District, on Thursday.”

The source further explained that about five vehicles were affected, describing the incident as terrible.

Three persons were said to have sustained gun shot injuries, while two others were kidnapped.

He also explained that Senator Uba Sani, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressive Congress who had earlier joined the team was not part of those that were attacked as he had travelled to Abuja from Kafanchan.

He added that the APC House of Assembly candidate in Kajuru, simply identified as Mr Madaki and the Vice chairman of APC in Kajuru Local Government Area, Ruben Waziri were abducted by the terrorists, while Senator Uba Sani’s Campaign DG, Sani Maina, Ahmed Maiyaki, a Chieftain of the party, and a few others escaped unhurt.

Another source said that the bandits blocked the road and opened fire on the entourage and other moving vehicles, adding that his brother, Reuben, was abducted alongside Madaki because they were in the same vehicle.
