Bandits have killed a legal practitioner identified as Barrister Ahmad Muhammad Abubakar in his home at Kotorkoshi Town, Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
According to Channels, a close associate of the lawyer Aminu Lawal Bungudu confirmed the killing.
He said “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,” Abubakar said.
“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.”
The Chairman of the Zamfara State Chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association, Junaidu Abubakar who also confirmed the incident condemned the attack.
He said, “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.”
