Gunmen on Thursday evening launched an ambush on the convoy of Mouktar Lugga, Chief of Staff to the Zamfara State governor, along the Funtua–Gusau highway
The incident happened around 6:16pm near Kucheri village while Lugga was returning to Gusau after attending an official function.
According to a report by Zagazola Makama, a publication known for tracking counter-insurgency developments in the Lake Chad region, the attackers struck from both sides of the road in a coordinated assault.
Sources revealed that the assailants opened fire on the vehicle carrying Lugga, his driver, and two others, suggesting the operation may have been premeditated.
During the attack, one of the bullets shattered the windscreen and narrowly missed the driver, while another gunman moved in closer to shoot, but his weapon failed to fire.
Amid the chaos, the driver was able to skillfully steer the vehicle away from the scene, allowing everyone inside the convoy to escape without injuries.
