Police spokesman Hassan Mohammed, an assistant superintendent of police (ASP), confirmed the development yesterday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Bauchi.

He said the deceased was shot and killed with Alhaji Muhammadu Manu, the district head of Yame community in Dambam Local Government Area.

“Mohammed, and Alhaji Manu, were shot dead in Yame town around 10.30pm on Saturday,” Mohammed said.
