Gunmen Assassinate Al-Makura’s Driver

The Police in Nasarawa said on Saturday that
some gunmen assassinated the Head Driver of
Governor Umaru Al-Makura, Mr. Abdullahi
Mairuwa.

Police Public Relations Officer in the state, ASP
Ismaila Numan, confirmed the incident to the
News Agency of Nigeria in Lafia.

He said the victim was traveling with his wife
from Lafia to Keana Local Government Area on
Saturday morning when they were attacked by
some gunmen at Tudun Adabu village in Obi
Local Government Area of the state.

“The report we got from the scene indicated that
Mairuwa’s killers shot him at close range in the
presence of his wife before escaping through a
bush path,” Numan said.

Numan said detectives had been deployed to
investigate the killing.

Meanwhile, a family source, who preferred
anonymity, told NAN that the gun men had told
the victim’s wife not to panic as they were sent
to her husband alone, whom they shot twice in
the chest.

He said the remains of Mairuwa had been taken
to Keana for burial according to Islamic rites.
NAN reports that neither Gov. Al-Makura nor his
Director of Press, Yakubu Lamai, could be
reached for comments as of the time of filing
this report.
