The Police in Bauchi State has confirmed the killing of Mr. Hassan Jama’are, a former Director of Works, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) by gunmen.
Bauchi State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Ahmed Wakili, said that the deceased was attacked and killed at about 10 p.m on Sunday.
Wakili said the gunmen trailed the ex-ATBU director to his house and shot him when he was about to open his gate.
“They snatched his Honda Accord car keys and went away with them,’’
he said.
Wakili said the late Jammare raised an alarm that attracted neighbours to come to his aid, adding that the neighbours, however, rushed to the police to report the incident.
The police image maker said no arrest has been made, but that the police were investigating to unmask those behind the dastardly act.
