Zamfara: Commissioner’s son shot dead

The son of DIG Ibrahim Mamman Tsafe (rtd), incumbent Commissioner of Security and Home Affairs in Zamfara, has been shot dead.

IDOMA VOICE gathered that Zamfara commissioner’s son along with three others was killed when bandits invaded Tsafe local government area of the state, on Sunday night.

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.

An eyewitness identified as Umar revealed that some residents spotted the criminals and mistook them for security operatives, so they didn’t bother to raise an 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,” a resident revealed.
