A Senator representing Kaduna north senatorial district, Suleiman Othman Hunkuyi, on Sunday, reportedly escaped assassination attempt as gunmen disrupted a meeting he conveyed at NUT Endwell hotel in the metropolis.

Reports said five persons also sustained injuries during the attack and have been moved to Barau Dikko hospital for treatment.

The incident happened when the All Progressives Congress senator was holding a meeting with representatives from each of the local governments and the district at the hotel.

It was gathered that gunmen stormed the venue of the meeting when they were about rounding up discussion.

It was further gathered that the gunmen had already broken car windshields before policemen shot into the air to disperse them.

Reports said the party members that gathered at the conference hall of the hotel scampered for safety and the meeting came to an abrupt end.

Recall that Senator Hunkuyi had last week met with party faithfuls from the Kaduna south senatorial district in Kafanchan where he promised to reinstate teachers and district heads sacked by the state government.
