Last night, Halima Shuaibu, a Kaduna-based woman was turned into a widow after bandits killed her husband, Alhaji Shuaibu Mohammed, the district head of Ardo Birnin in Zaria, Kaduna State.
She recalled how the bandits brought him out of his room and shot him twice in the head. Halima also lost her four sons to the bandits. The terrorists also rustled over 100 cattle belonging to the family, according to Daily Trust.
“Ardo was brought out of his bedroom and shot twice in his head, and he died instantly,” she recounted. “The bandits went from room to room in the compound and killed my four children who are married with children.”

“After attacking the compound, they also went away with over 100 of our cows,” she said.
The only survivor of the attack among Ardo’s children, Abdurrahman Shuaibu, said the bandits shot two other people on their way out of the village.
When contacted, the spokesman of the state Police Command, Mohammed Jalige, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.
