” The deceased was suspected to have been killed by gunmen who are right now at large.
” The incident was said to have occurred on Thursday at his residence in Yauri flats, Sokoto, and it was reported to the Gwiwa Police Station on the same day.
” We are suspecting that the assailants were armed robbers as his Toyota car is still missing,” Sani said
