The gang had waited carefully for him to finish preaching before attacking his vehicle while he left the premises. They shot at him several times, shot at his wife and killed his son too. Other occupants of the car also sustained various injuries, but it was obvious it was an assassination as they made straight for his family.

The seven suspected killer gang who confessed committing the crime told journalists that they decided to assassinate the Islamic scholar because he revealed the secret of their activities to the state government, exposing them as members of the Boko Haram sect.


They would soon be charged to court.
