There was confusion on Monday after some unknown gunmen suspected of being bandits attacked the Executive Secretary of Zamfara State Investment Promotion Agency (ZIPa), Hajiya Mariam Yaro.
The incident took place as she was en route to a meeting with investors, just a short distance away from Gusau, the State capital.
According to the Daily Post, gunshots were fired at Yaro, resulting in various injuries.
She was promptly taken to an undisclosed hospital for immediate medical attention.
The State Command of the Nigeria Police, however, has not issued any official statement confirming the incident as of the time of filing this report.
