The source said that the gunmen who carried sophisticated weapons stationed some of their men outside the house to ensure that nobody interfered with their operation.

“We heard when they shot him and when we made efforts to come out, the gunmen stationed outside started shooting sporadically,” the source said.

The Chairman of Kanam Local Government Area, Mr Hamidu Bale, confirmed the incident.

“I have spoken with the Divisional Police Officer and other security agents and they have moved to the area.

“They will tell us after their investigation exactly what happened,” he said.

However, when contacted, ASP Terna Tyopev, the Plateau Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, said that he was yet to be briefed about the incident.

“I will call the DPO in the area and I will get back to you,” Tyopev told NAN.
