BAUCHI GARRISON COMMANDER IS SHOT DEAD
There is tension in Bauchi State, as
residents are jittery over the killing of Colonel Mohammed Barack, the Garrison
Commander, 33 Artillery Brigade of Nigerian Army in Shadawanka Barracks.
He was shot dead by yet-to-be-identified
gunmen in Bauchi on Sunday.
The incident, which happened along the
Bauchi-Jos road when the deceased was riding a power bike from Kaduna, was
confirmed by Major Yahaya Nasir Kabara, the spokesperson of 33 Artillery
Brigade.
Kabara said it is, however, unclear if the
incident was a robbery or an assassination but noted that "investigations
are ongoing at the Brigade".
SaharaReporters can confirm that preparations
are ongoing to convey the corpse of the Colonel to Kano, his state of origin,
for burial according to Islamic rights.
