Insecurity: bandits kill the monarch of Zamfara
Alhaji Kogo Hamza Abdullahi, a traditional chieftain, was shot and killed in the Yankuzo Emirate of Zamfara State by unidentified shooters who are thought to be bandits.
In a phone call with Obasanjonews24, a local who asked to remain anonymous said that the bandits attacked and killed the district head on his way home from work on Friday.
“The robbers attacked his cars and shot him twice,” he said. They were trying to catch him.
The king was assassinated, according to community reports, at about 8:30 o’clock.
He claimed that because the terrorists were unable to capture him, they killed him and fled.
Obasanjonews24 also learned that the king was brought to Gusau’s Yariman Bakura Specialists Hospital for emergency care before passing away at midnight.
