Scores of people including younger brother to Dr Rabi”u Musa Kwankwaso, former commissioners Dr Adamu Yunus Dangwani and Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam were injured in a clash between rival factions Kwankwasiyya and Gandujiyya.
The attack which took place at the Emir of Kano’s Palace during the famous Hawan Daushe left many injured.
Speaking on the attack, Dr Dangwani said, “We were watching the horse riders when suddenly the supporters of Gandujiyya descended on us. They hit the former SSG with a heavy stick and stabbed Yahaya with a knife on his shoulder.”
“The former SSG and Kwankwaso’s brother were later rushed to the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital where they were treated and discharged.”
The exact number of people injured in the clash is still unknown as numbers are still being compiled before a press briefing.
The alleged mastermind behind the clash, Honourable Baffa Babba Dan Agundi, a member of Kano State House of Assembly denied planning the incident.
He said; “It is not true. How can a lawmaker lead others to take laws into their hands? This is something that cannot happen. The Kwankwasiyya should prove the allegation beyond reasonable doubt.
“We are in the era of IT so they should prove the allegation with facts and figures. But we have our video clips of what happened at the durbar.”
