Suspected bandits kill the APC chairman of Rantan Ward, Bebeji Local Government Area in Kano State, along with another resident, during a nighttime raid on the community. Reports say the attackers storm Rantan on Sunday night and open fire, resulting in the deaths of Alhaji Garba Buba and Sulaiman Zunduma.
Nigerian Eye reports that Buba is wounded and later dies in hospital, and that residents also identify an additional person, Alhaji Sa’adu, as being shot. Daily Post Nigeria likewise says two people are killed in the attack, naming Buba and Zunduma as victims. Nigerian Eye also places the incident in a wider pattern of violence, noting it occurs hours after a separate attack in Chiromawa community, Garun Malam LGA, where gunmen abduct Alhaji Yusuf Nadabo Chiromawa and kill three people in the earlier incident.
Across the reports, the common elements are that the killings happen during a Sunday-night attack on Rantan community in Bebeji LGA, involve gunfire by suspected bandits, and result in at least two deaths linked to the APC ward chairman.
