By Dayo Badmus
The Auditor General of Bauchi State, Alhaji Abdu Usman, has been left bloodied and badly injured in a failed attempt to kidnap him.
The incident, which occurred on Sunday evening on the Bauchi-Tafawa Balewa road on his way to the village, is coming barely one week after a former member of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Abdulmumuni Hassan Ningi, was kidnapped by gunmen who were said to have received undisclosed amount as ransom before he was released.
Though the information about the Auditor General’s kidnap attemt is till scanty, Tribune Online reported that, he was on his way to his village in Dass Local Government Area when the gunmen who were said to be trailing him opened fire, wounding him in the process.
He was abandoned by his assailants when they thought he was dead and ran into the bush leaving him in a pool of blood.
Other road users however rushed him to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH).
