Bandits assassinated the son of DIG Mamman Tsafe(Rtd), Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs in Zamfara.
On Sunday night, gunmen attacked Tsafe town, the seat of the Tsafe local government region of the state, killing him and three others.
Bandits dressed in military clothes assaulted the Shiyar Namada region near the commissioner's home and opened fire on civilians.
According to eyewitness accounts, some people saw the crooks and mistook them for security personnel, thus they did not raise an alarm.
"During iftar, the commissioner's son and a few others were seated in front of DIG Ibrahim Mamman Tsafe's apartment when armed men suddenly appeared and began firing at everyone on sight."
"Most individuals were observing Tarawih prayer in numerous mosques around the region during the incident, and inhabitants had to evacuate to safety." Later, the armed guys withdrew into the woods. "As I speak with you, I'm at the Waziri's home, where funeral preparations are underway," a local confessed.
