July 05, (THEWILL) – The Welfare Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Gusau Branch, Zamfara State, Ahmad Muhammad Abubakar (Esq.), has been killed by suspected bandits.
A close associate of the deceased, Aminu Lawal Bungudu, who confirmed the incident, said Abubakar was killed in his home at Kotorkoshi Town, Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
Bungudu said the bandits invaded the deceased’s house in the early hours of Wednesday, and attacked him before he was eventually whisked away to an unknown destination.
“The bandits entered the house and saw his wife when she was trying to ease herself, they attacked her, when the wife screamed for help, that was when the husband came out.
“The bandits attacked the husband and was taken away, it was along the road they killed him, they left him in cold blood. What we are not sure is how he was killed, whether through the injuries he sustained during the initial attack in his house or he was killed along the road. But we found his lifeless body along the road”, he said.
The Chairman of the Zamfara State Chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association, Junaidu Abubakar, condemned the attack.
“Let me confirm to you that it is true, he was attacked in his house, the attackers did not take anything from his house, he was only picked and there were several machete injuries in his body.
“We just finished his burial now according to Islamic rite, the Bar is going to hold a meeting because this is not the first time this is happening”, he stated.
