Bandits Kill APC Chieftain, Umar Moriki, In Zamfara by iwaeda(op): 6:58pm On Nov 15, 2025

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State, Umar Moriki, has been reportedly killed by gunmen suspected to be armed bandits.

Moriki was reportedly attacked and shot dead on Saturday morning along the Gusau–Tsafe highway, near Fegi village in the Tsafe Local Government Area, while traveling from Gusau to Kaduna.

The state chapter of the APC, under the leadership of Tukur Danfulani, confirmed the incident, describing it as a tragic loss to the party and the state.

In a statement issued by the Publicity Secretary of the party in Zamfara State, Yusuf Idris, the late APC stalwart had just participated in the party’s stakeholders’ meeting hosted by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle.

Moriki held several key political positions during his lifetime, including as Vice Chairman of the Zurmi Local Government Area, Director-General of a state agency, and Special Adviser on Rural Electrification.

He also contested the Zurmi/Shinkafi House of Representatives seat in the 2023 elections.

Moriki died at the age of 62 and is survived by three wives and several children.

The APC described Moriki as a dedicated party man and community figure who devoted his life to public service and humanitarian support.

You can’t keep a baby lion in your house and expect it not to eat you when it becomes an adult.

as long as they keep their banditry in the north and middle belt, we SS are okay with it. Trump should not bother.

My advise to Christians over there, is for them to find a way up south.

Since the North loves their banditry, let them live with them

AN ATTACK ON BOKO HARAM IS AN ATTACK ON THE NORTH........

They still voted and supported him after hearing him say that, despite knowing that BOKO HARAM was a terror group.

Just imagine if Buhari was from the south east or south south and what they would have done hearing this from him?

We know who are the problem with Nigeria and they also know themselves.
