State Security Service (SSS) officer was on Sunday night killed by some gunmen in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital. He was identified as Mamman Shettima. An eyewitness said Shettima was trailed by the two gunmen and shot at close range in front of his house in Ajari Ward, a densely populated area of the metropolis.
Another eyewitness, who spoke in confidence, said: “The two gunmen came to the area around 7.30pm, 30 minutes before the beginning of the curfew, and shot the man at very close range where he was sitting with some friends.
“The gunmen first detonated an explosive, which caused panic, before shooting the officer. They immediately fled.”
Confirming the killing, Police Commissioner Lawal Tanko said: “I heard of the attack. My men went there swiftly. He was shot on the thigh. We thought he would not die, but by the time he was taken to the hospital, he had lost too much blood. He died from the excessive lost of blood.”
