Gunmen kill el-Rufai’s campaign coordinator

Markus Ishaya, a local campaign coordinator to the Kaduna State Governor-elect, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, was on Tuesday killed by unknown gunmen. He was said to have been trailed by the gunmen to his house in the Atuku Kasa area of Jema’am Local Governor Area of the state.

Mr. Samuel Aruwan, the spokesman for the APC said the coordinator was shot severally by the yet-to-be identified gunmen and that the APC in the state was notified of the death by the deceased’s family.

The killing of Ishaya had brought to 10 the number of members of the APC that had been killed in the state before, during and after the elections.

A family source said the men, two in numbers, who were heavily armed, stormed the residence of the APC chieftain and shot him severally, adding that “they didn’t pick any property in his residence except carrying out the ungodly act.”
