GUNMEN have killed Mr Markus Ishaya, one of the campaign coordinators of Kaduna State governor-elect, Malam Nasir el-Rufai.
His spokesperson, Samuel Aruwan, disclosed this in a statement made available to the Nigerian Tribune, in Kaduna, on Tuesday evening.
According to Aruwan, the gunmen trailed Ishaya to his village, Atuku Kasa, Atuku Ward of Jema'a Local Government Area of the state and shot him several times.
“He was the coordinator of el-Rufai’s campaign in Atuku ward and did well mobilising support. His family informed us that unknown gunmen stormed his residence and shot him several times.
“The men, two in number, were well armed and did not pick any property in his residence except carrying out the ungodly act,” he said.
Condoling with the family, Malam el-Rufai prayed for the soul of the deceased, adding that “our empathy and prayers go to the family and the entire community over this callous murder and desecration of human life.”
When contacted, the state police image maker, Zubairu Abubakar, confirmed the incident, but was quick to say that perpetrators of the dastardly act would be brought to justice.
