There is more panic in Katsina State and beyond as some gunmen have killed the Commissioner for Science and Technology, Dr Rebe Nasir.
This happened days after the Federal Government classified bandits as terrorists.
The identity of the assailants are, however, yet to be known while the reason for their mission also remains unknown.
Confirming the killing, Katsina Police Commissioner, Sanusi Buba, said on Thursday, “The unfortunate incident happened last night.”
In a report, ‘The Punch’ quoted residents as saying that Nasir was killed on Wednesday night in his house located at Fatima Shema Quarters, Katsina.
The residents added that the gunmen must have taken advantage of his staying alone to carry out the operation.
One of the residents, who pleaded for anonymity said, “The gunmen stormed the house at night and attacked him while he was trying to escape from them. They killed him and locked his corpse up in one of the rooms where we discovered it today (Thursday).
