Bandit terrorists have killed the son of the incumbent Commissioner of Security and Home Affairs in Zamfara, Ibrahim Mamman Tsafe.
It was gathered that the terrorists shot Tsafe’s son alongside three others during an attack on the headquarters of Tsafe local government area of the state, on Sunday night.
There are claims that terrorists fleeing from military operations are moving to some part of Tsafe local government to their new safe-havens.
Residents who spoke on the development with Daily Trust disclosed that the criminals dressed in military uniforms invaded the Shiyar Namada area close to the commissioner’s residence and opened fire on people.
A resident identified as Umar said, “Some residents who had earlier spotted them mistook them as security operatives on routine patrol. Some of them didn’t bother to raise alarm”
“The commissioner’s son, alongside some other people were seated at the frontage of DIG Ibrahim Mamman Tsafe’s residence during iftar when suddenly the armed men showed up and started firing at everyone on sight.
“During the attack, most people observing Tarawih prayer in several mosques around the area and residents had to flee to safety. The armed men later withdrew into the forest. As I’m talking to you I’m at the Waziri’s residence where preparations for their funeral are underway.”
