Jafar Abdullahi Dabawu, an aide to the Deputy Governor of Niger State, Comrade Yakubu Garba, has been killed following an attack by unknown assailants at his residence in the Maitumbi area of Minna.
Dabawu, who also served as President of the Minna Emirate Youth Association (MEYA), was attacked in the early hours of Thursday at his home opposite the Maitumbi Police Station, where he lived with his family. He was said to have been married for about four months.
SaharaReporters gathered that the attackers gained entry into the residence around 2:00 a.m. before the incident occurred inside the apartment.
“Jafar was staying with his newly wedded wife and his teenage daughter from a previous marriage when they noticed that the entrance door to their living room had been left open around 2 a.m. He went into the parlour to ask who was there, but got no response. Moments later, he was stabbed in the upper part of his chest by an assailant suspected to have been hiding inside the apartment at the time,” a source said.
It was also gathered that Jafar was killed the night he returned from Kuta in the Shiroro Local Government Area, where he went to participate in a primary election.
“The family said they only saw one person dressed in a jalabiya and wearing a face mask. Jafar sustained a facial injury and a stab wound to the chest,” the source said.
Sources also confirmed to SaharaReporters that the victim was an aide to the Deputy Governor of Niger State, Comrade Yakubu Garba, and also served as President of the Minna Emirate Youth Association (MEYA).
