Bandits Kill Prominent Businessman, Alhaji Sani In Lafia As Nasarawa Residents Lynch One Attacker

Gunmen suspected to be bandits have killed a prominent businessman, Alhaji Sani Sabo, in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital.

A source familiar with the incident told SaharaReporters on Monday morning that the assailants stormed the area around 9:20 p.m. on Sunday, shooting the businessman dead before attempting to escape.

However, residents quickly mobilised to confront the attackers, killing one of them while the rest managed to flee the scene.

Alhaji Sani was described as a well-known philanthropist who regularly supported the less privileged in his community.

“Yesterday in Lafia, at about 9:20 p.m., gunmen arrived and shot the biggest businessman in Lafia. He was like a brother to me.

“The people in the area, angered by the killing, fought back and killed one of the gunmen. This man’s death has touched many people in Nasarawa State. He helped a lot, especially the poor. As we speak, his house is filled with mourners. He will be buried this afternoon at 2:00 p.m.,” the source said.

As of the time of filing this report, the state government and security operatives have yet to issue an official statement on the incident.

The media will fail to suppress this because he's a prominent figure. Insecurity is still rife across the country, especially in the North. Paying media houses to suppress the news is equivalent of putting bandage over a bullet wound.
