Suspense After New Account On Shooting Of Nigerian Governor’s Sister

A new twist to the shooting incident involving Atsi Kefas, the sister of Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas, has emerged with the claim that she was reportedly shot by a police escort during an attack by gunmen on Thursday.

It had earlier been reported that the governor’s sister and mother were attacked by gunmen while they were traveling within the state.

A Vanguard report on Friday quoted Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication specializing in the Lake Chad region, as saying that the incident occurred along Kente Road in Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State. Jumai, the governor’s mother, and Atsi were traveling when they were ambushed by gunmen.

The publication reported that a police officer assigned to escort the family “accidentally shot Atsi” while trying to repel the attackers.

In the aftermath of the attack, troops swiftly intervened, rescuing the victims and evacuating Jumai and Atsi Kefas from the scene using an air ambulance.

Atsi Kefas was rushed to the hospital for treatment. However, her current condition remains undisclosed at the time of filing this report.

Security forces reportedly recovered the vehicle used by the assailants. An empty magazine and passenger luggage were also found in the vehicle.

Meanwhile, suspense over the fate of the governor’s sister has not been helped by scarcity of information on her fate with citizens of the state in anxiety.
