Just In : Military Commander Shot Dead In Katsina
Our heritage reporter reports that a military commander of an army camp located at Sabon Garin Dan’Ali, in Danmusa local government area of Katsina state has reportedly been killed in an ambush.
According to local sources, the incident happened Thursday evening and the corpse of the deceased, a major in the army, was deposited at a hospital in Katsina.
It was gathered the commander was ambushed at Malali village in Kankara local government area, where he was called to provide reinforcement to repel an attack on the village
One of the sources (name withheld) said, “As you know, Malali is along Zangon Pawwa road, and that area is completely taken over by bandits. Whenever there is an attack the security agents usually ask for reinforcement from the Maraban Dan’Ali camp, and this new commander would promptly respond.
“This time around, they asked for his reinforcement and he came using a Hilux vehicle, instead of the Amoured Personnel Carrier (APC), perhaps the APCs were not available at the time. Unfortunately his assailants waylaid his vehicle and shot him in the head.”
