were on motorcycles, followed him (the deceased) to the residence of Wakili and
forcefully picked him on a motorcycle and went through the General Hospital
road."

motorcycle, they ran after him and shot him several times and ensure that he
was dead before they rode off.

the bandits reportedly shot him on his stomach severally and he died on the
spot," he explained.
However, the state Police Public Relations Officer,
SP Gambo Isah, was yet to respond to inquiries made by reporters during press
