The governor of Kano State, Abdulahi Ganduje has condemned the kidnapping of a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Garba Durbunde, representing Sumaila/Taka federal constituency.

The federal lawmaker was whisked away by armed gunmen on Tuesday along Kaduna- Jere road while he was on his way to Kano from Abuja.

Ganduje in a statement issued on Wednesday in Kano by the state Information and Culture Commissioner, Malam Mohammed Garba, said the governor was shocked by the incident, mainly as it took place at a period Muslims are fasting.
