Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) Nuru Muhammed, who confirmed this yesterday, said: “On Monday, armed Irigwe men attacked and killed Sama’ila Muhammad (14) while breeding his cattle. The victim was attacked around Tipper garage, Rukuba road, in Bassa council.
His body was found yesterday by the men of the Operation Save Heaven about 13:00 hours. The case was reported to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Bassa and the security agencies promised to investigate.
