Gunmen have abducted and killed Alhaji Bako Bala, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Suru Local Government Area of Kebbi State. The tragic incident took place on Wednesday, leaving the community in shock and further raising concerns about the growing insecurity in the state.
According to a post by Alhaji Zaidu Bala Kofa Sabuwa, the Special Adviser to the Kebbi State Governor on Television and Radio, the gunmen invaded Bala’s hometown, where they kidnapped him. After the abduction, they shot him and left him severely wounded, lying in a pool of blood. Bala was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre in Birnin Kebbi, where he was pronounced dead after succumbing to his injuries.
This incident adds to the increasing list of violent attacks in Kebbi State, where armed groups have been terrorizing communities through kidnappings and killings. Despite efforts by security forces, supported by the state government, to eliminate criminal hideouts and protect residents, these violent incidents have continued unabated.
