Gun men suspected to be militants of the Islamic Boko Haram have killed a Mobile Police Commander, Dahiru Musa Majiya at his Sabon Gandu residence in Kano, northern Nigeria.
Dahiru was an elder brother to Magaji Majiya, Kano Command’s Public Relations Officer.
Though security authorities have not officially confirmed the incident which occurred late Monday evening, impeccable security sources told Pointblanknews.com that they receive the news with shock.
Last Tuesday, gun men opened fire on hapless Nigerians eating at a restaurant at the Naibawa Quarters of the troubled city killing eight.
Two terrorists were also killed by soldiers at a check point on Zaria Road last Saturday, while their mates in a car that proved stubborn to be searched were arrested.
Fear and apprehension grip residents of the city, even as the Governor, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso had assured for improved security.
