Hamidu who was a former director of Protocol in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), recently ran for the governorship position in Zamfara State and is said to have had his eyes on the seat come 2023 elections.
He was reportedly wounded fatally by bullets from the guns of the bandits who shot sporadically, leaving several others injured.
Witnesses say the gunmen also kidnapped many travellers and carted away some valuables they could instantly lay their hands upon.
