Bandits have murdered a member of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rilwanu Aminu Gadagau, representing Giwa West Constituency, and abducted many others along the kaduna-Zaria highway. According to reports, Gadagau was killed on Monday night by the assailants who attacked travellers along the road. His lifeless body was later discovered on Wednesday morning.
