Gunmen killed Alh Idris Abubakar Sakaina, the Kwara state Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), on Saturday evening. The incident occurred around 10 pm when Sakaina was shot dead in front of his residence in Oke Ose, Oke-Oyi.
The police authorities have confirmed the murder and recovered five expended 7.62mm shells from the scene. The State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) has commenced a full investigation, and the police assure that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Kwara State Chapter, has expressed shock over the murder and urged the security agencies to track down the assailants quickly. The association also appealed to the state government to assist the family of the deceased.
The killing might be connected to MACBAN’s efforts in providing security support to the police and local hunters, leading to the rescue of several victims from kidnappers and mitigating efforts of terrorists in the state.
