A former Deputy Governor of Zamfara State Alhaji Ibrahim Wakkala, is currently recuperating from a gunshot injury he sustained during the attack on a Kaduna-bound train on Monday.

The former media aide to the ex-deputy governor, Yusuf Idris, told Daily Trust that Wakkala was shot in the leg and is currently receiving treatment in a medical facility in Kaduna.

“He is responding to treatment very well. He is answering phone calls in his bed. I spoke to him and several other people spoke to him also. There is no cause for alarm,” Yusuf said.
