Confirming the incident, the Adamawa State Police spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said, “the Commissioner of Police, Sikiru Akande, visited the crime scene earlier today and directed that immediate investigation be conducted with a view to apprehending the perpetrators of the crime.”
Gunmen’s killings are increasing in the state and causing sleepless nights to many residents. It could be recalled that last week, it was reported that gunmen shot a pastor, killed his two sons and kidnapped his 13-year-old daughter in Adamawa State.
