Friday, April 3, 2026 - The Chief of Staff to the Zamfara State Government House, Moukhtar Lugga, narrowly escaped death on Thursday evening after gunmen opened fire on his vehicle along the Funtua–Gusau road.
The attack reportedly occurred at about 6:16 pm near
Kucheri, when armed assailants ambushed Lugga’s vehicle and fired shots from
multiple directions.
A local radio station in Zamfara State reported that the
attackers surrounded the vehicle and opened fire in what appeared to be a
coordinated assault.

bullets.
Sources said the driver was able to steer the vehicle away
from the scene, escaping the ambush unhurt.
A bullet hole was later seen on the front windscreen of the
vehicle. Security agencies are yet to issue an official statement regarding the
incident as of the time of filing this report.
