While returning from the business trip, the MACBAN Chairman preferred to return in the night rather than wait till the next morning.
He was even said to have followed a bush path with his members in the night while returning, with a source saying: “That is how the Fulani move.”
On getting to Daku village in Dobi ward, which is a border village between FCT and Niger State, the Chairman and his members were attacked by the bandits, who shot him and the three others.
FCT Police Commissioner, CP Sunday confirmed the attack and death of the MACBAN Chairman, noting that investigations have commenced into the incident, which occurred last Thursday.
