Three people were reportedly killed and four suspects arrested as political thugs set the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) campaign secretariat ablaze in Tudun Wada LGA of Kano State on Sunday.
Police spokesman in the state, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, disclosed this to newsmen, saying that another set of thugs also attacked INEC’s office in Takai LGA.
He said, “Two persons in a stationary vehicle inside the building of the campaign office of the House of Representatives candidate of NNPP were burnt to death.
