In Kano, police have detained 13 people in connection with an attack on Senator Barau Jibrin’s governorship campaign office in 2023.
The campaign office was reportedly set on fire late Wednesday night by a mob of attackers numbering in the hundreds.
Shekarau is at odds with the party’s executive in the state, which is backed by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Barau Jibrin, a senator representing Kano North, has his office near Maiduguri road, which is owned by Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, a former Minister of Labour and Productivity.
