Gunmen suspected to be bandits on Thursday evening attacked the convoy of the Chief of Staff to the Zamfara State Governor, Alhaji Mouktar Lugga, along the Funtua–Gusau highway.
The incident occurred at about 6:16 p.m. near Kucheri village as Lugga was returning to Gusau from an official assignment.
Sources said the attackers suddenly emerged from both sides of the road and opened fire on the vehicle carrying Lugga, his driver, and two others.
A bullet pierced the windshield, narrowly missing the driver, while another assailant reportedly attempted to shoot at close range but his rifle failed to fire.
The driver was able to manoeuvre the vehicle out of the ambush, and all occupants escaped without injury.
