According to an eyewitness, “the moment he arrived his village and was about entering his house, some gunmen emerged from the bush and shot him several times on the head and chest and he died on the spot.
“His corpse has been deposited at the Batsari General Hospital and he is most likely to be buried later today (Sunday).”
When contacted on telephone, the APC Katsina Central zonal Chairman, Mamman Yaro Batsari, confirmed the report.
