Gunmen have killed Alhaji Idris Abubakar Sakaina, the leader of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria in Kwara State. The incident occurred around 10:00 pm on Saturday when his attackers accosted and shot him dead in front of his residence in Oke Ose, Ilorin. According to a source, “His attackers left him in the pool of his blood. They didn’t collect anything from him and their motive for such action is surprising.” A witness, Aina’u Sarki, said, “I was with him 20 minutes before he was killed. Someone called me on phone and told me that he was shot dead.” The Special Assistant to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Inter-Community Relations, Fulani, Muhammed Abdullahi, confirmed the development on Sunday morning. “Yes, he was killed in front of his residence on Saturday night by some gunmen who left him for dead. We are preparing for his janaza as I speak to you now but the police were here yesterday and have started an investigation.” The deceased, 32, was a former Special Assistant to Moro Local Government Chairman and a Youth Leader of the Fulanis in Kwara.
