The Chief Imam of Kawaran Rafi village in Igabi Local Government Area, Sheik Danleeman Isah has reportedly been killed by bandits during an attack on the village.
Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in a statement on Saturday said that the bandits invaded the village and moved straight to the Chief Imam’s residence.
Continuing, the statement added that in what appears to be a pre-meditated attack, the bandits shot him dead and left the location without taking any items or hostages.
He said the murder of the cleric has been linked to his vocal stance against the killing and kidnapping of citizenry by bandits.
In a similar development, bandits also killed the Ardo Musa Layi of Kajuru local government, who was kidnapped by armed men in October 2020 for his advocacy against killing, kidnapping and cattle rustling.
In another development, security agencies have reported the murder of the Sarkin Yaki of Godogodo, Mr Yohanna Abu, by a gang of kidnappers.
