Witnesses said Bakura was shot at a close range in head and waist around 7:30 pm along Sokoto Bypass on Sunday shortly after he observed his Isha prayer before his killers had fled.
It was gathered that the gunmen were on a motorbike and when they met the former commissioner at a place where he used to stay and rest, they just opened fire on him. And after they killed him, they went away with his car.
The killing was coming 48 hours after some robbers attacked and killed ten vigilante group members in Dumburum village in Zurmi local government area of the state.
Zamfara State police command confirmed the killing of the former commissioner.
