Six people, including the anointed
gubernatorial candidate of the All Nigeria
Peoples Party (ANPP) in Borno State, Alhaji
Modu Fannami Gubio and a younger brother of
Governor Sheriff, were shot dead today in
Maiduguri.
Alhaji Gubio was the cousin of current
governor, Ali Modu Sheriff. He was also the
Commissioner for Finance in the state. It is
unclear if Alhaji Gubio, who was shot in front of
his house, was assassinated by the Boko
Haram militants in the state who have vowed to
kill the governor.
The younger brother of the governor was Goni
Sherrif. Sources told SaharaReporters that after
the Friday Jumat service, the victims had gone
to say hello to Gubio ’s father when they were
attacked in front of Alhaji Gubio’s house and
killed.
