Taraba Governor Kefas's Sister ‘Accidentally Shot' By Police Escort Is Dead

Atsi Kefas, the sister of the Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas, who was "accidentally shot" by a police escort while wading off bandits' attack, is dead, SaharaReporters has gathered.

The deceased was said to be travelling last Thursday along Kente Road in the Wukari Local Government Area of the state when some gunmen attacked her and the governor's mother, Jumai Kefas.

In the confusion during the attack, a police officer assigned to escort the family accidentally shot Atsi Kefas while attempting to fend off the assailants.

Sources told SaharaReporters that the governor’s sister died at a hospital in Abuja where she was taken to for advanced medical care.

“She died last night. She finally succumbed to her injuries. The governor and his family are yet to release an official statement on the passing of Atsi Kefas. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time,” a source said.

A source close to the governor also confirmed the death of Atsi.

“Yes, the younger sister to Taraba state Governor who was shot recently by bandits while travelling to Abuja, has passed away.”

That's really sad.

I hope governors will be more determined to wipe off these bandits from the face of the earth.

It would have been better if the police had not attempted to wade off the bandits...Just maybe, the outcome may have been different

Whats the fate of the policeman now?

RIP to the dead
