The military commander of an army camp in Sabon Garin Dan’Ali, Danmusa local government area, Katsina state, had reportedly been murdered in an ambush.
According to sources, the incident occurred Thursday evening, and the deceased, an army major, was deposited at a hospital in Katsina.
According to a Daily Trust report, the commander was ambushed at Malali village, Kankara local government region, where he was called to offer reinforcement to repel an attack on the community.
“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.”
