On Sunday, the supporters of the Governor of Kano state, Umar Ganduje and those of the former Governor of the state, Musa Kwankwaso engaged in a free-for-all at Chiranchi quarters in Gwale Local Government Area of the state, with six people sustaining various degrees of injuries.
The altercation according to NAN started when the members of both groups arrived the area to attend separate weddings. One of those who sustained injury during the fight was the junior brother of the Commissioner of Special Duties, Abdullahi Abbas.
The report quoted an eyewitness as saying;
“The Kwankwasiyya followers attended one and the Gandujiyya group attended another wedding ceremony. The one attended by Kwankwasiyya members was contracted first. So, while they were leaving the area, they ran into the Gandujiyya group who were at another marriage. They exchanged few words and fight ensued leading to six persons being injured”, the source said.
The incident has since been confirmed by the Kano state Police Command.
