The campaing convoy of Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in Kaduna State, Jonathan Asake, was on Friday attacked by suspected political thugs at Gidan Waya, in Jema’a local government area of the State.

The incident happened when the campaign convoy was passing through Gidan Waya during the Friday Juma’at prayers on its way to Godogodo and other towns in the local government.

A statement issued by James Swam, media aide to the LP governorship candidate, said four youths including two males and two females, were injured in the attack.

He said after the first three vehicles in the convoy made their way through the old tyres used to demarcate the road, thugs started throwing stones, sticks and other harmful objects at the long convoy.

“It took the timely intervention of the security personnel attached to the candidate to forestall a crisis”, he added.
