Gunmen Attack VP Sambo Family Home

Suspected militants have attacked the family home of Vice President Namadi Sambo on Baba Ahmed Road in  Tudun Wada area of Zaria, Kaduna state. Eyewitnesses told media that gunmen drove by the house and shot at two policemen guarding the house.

The policemen reportedly survived the attack. The gunmen fled the scene after the attack.

Meanwhile, this is even as a chieftain of the CPC and a former political adviser of the former vice president, Turaki Atiku Abubakar, had boasted on Twitter that there had been no bombings of churches since the previous National Security Adviser was removed proving (in their view) that the General Azazi was behind the spate of Boko Haram bombings in a bid to trigger a war.
