Gushegu MCE says slain Yiidana was targeted as police investigate killing of chief and son

The Municipal Chief Executive for Gushegu, Abdul Hafiz Adam, says the killing of a Yiidana and his son at the chief’s palace was a targeted assassination and not the beginning of wider communal violence. He has urged residents to remain calm as security agencies investigate the attack and work to identify and arrest those responsible. Mr Adam told MyJoyOnline that three gunmen entered the palace at about 11 p.m. on Tuesday and initially confronted young men outside the residence.
