Unknown gunmen, on Tuesday, killed the lawmaker representing Shinkafi constituency in the Zamfara House of Assembly.
It was also gathered that the gunmen, after killing the lawmaker, also abducted his son and the driver.
The incident has been confirmed by the Director-General of Press and Public Affairs in the House, Mustafa Jafaru-Kaura.
He explained that the incident happened on Tuesday at Sheme in Katsina State while the deceased and his family were on their way to Kano state.
“He was taking his son to a hospital in Kano. The lawmaker’s son and driver were kidnapped by bandits,” he said.
However, efforts to reach out to the Police Spokesperson in the state proved abortive as calls and messages put across to his phone were left unanswered.
