The son of the Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs in Zamfara, Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Mamman Tsafe (Rtd), has been shot dead by Bandits.
Daily Report Nigeria gathered that the deceased was killed alongside three other victims on Sunday night when bandits invaded Tsafe town, headquarters of Tsafe local government area of the state.
The terrorists reportedly stormed the town in military uniforms and besieged the Shiyar Namada area close to the commissioner’s residence, before opening fire on people.
An eyewitness said residents who spotted the terrorists mistook them for security operatives, hence, didn’t raise any alarm.
“The commissioner’s son, alongside some other people were seated at the frontage of DIG Ibrahim Mamman Tsafe’s residence during iftar when suddenly the armed men showed up and started firing at every one on sight.”
“During the attack most people observing Tarawih prayer in several mosques around the area and residents had to flee to safety. The armed men later withdrew into the forest. As I’m talking to you I’m at the Waziri’s residence where preparations for their funeral are underway,” a resident told Daily Trust.
