However, her line could not go through along the way only for us to be ambushed by two gunmen on a motorbike,” he narrated.
Alhaji Yusuf Haruna said they came under heavy fire until their vehicle run into a gutter at Dawhenya.
“The fire was so heavy that we could not even turn when we got to the police station and had to continue towards Dawhenya Township. It was there that the Alhaji Jafaru was killed,” Alhaji Yusuf revealed.
