Armed bandits in Kaduna have killed Abdulkarim Ibn Na’Allah, a Nigerian aviator and son of Deputy Senate Majority Leader Bala Ibn Na’Allah.
Mr Ibn Na’Allah was killed on Saturday evening, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
“The bandits entered his home on Saturday evening and killed him,” a source who said he had been to the scene told this paper on Sunday evening. “But it was only today that we learnt about it and we rushed there.”
It was not immediately clear whether the bandits disclosed their motive or left any clues that could be traced by the authorities.
A spokesman for the police in Kaduna did not immediately return a request for comments.
The fatal attack comes barely days after bandits breached the Nigerian Defence Academy, also in Kaduna, killing at least three officers while abducting two.
With the two deadly attacks within just one week, it appears very clear that no one is actually safe in Kaduna today. It is the threat from the same bandits and their consistent attacks which the military cannot prevent that forced the Kaduna State Government to close all primary and secondary schools in the state, a situation that has brought so much setback to the students, parents and even teachers of private schools because most schools cannot pay teachers salary in the absence of any income as a result of the closure of the schools.
