He was reportedly going to Okeho in the early hours of Thursday when he got a call to return for an emergency assignment at Ilero.

It was reported that the gunmen attacked his residence in the Bado area of Sokoto around 3 am.
The lawmaker while speaking on the development noted that he killed one of the assailants.
He said, “I was attacked in my house in Sokoto by armed robbers. But by Allah’s powers, I was able to shoot and kill one, and injured some”.
The former Speaker of the Sokoto State House of Assembly also shared photos of the foiled attack.
“They came to destroy him. Allah (SWT) did not give them the opportunity because Allah (SWT) promised to protect anyone who stands for truth and trust.”
“This attack is not the first time. It has been done to the people who stand because society is facing this kind of challenge”, a supporter, Bilal Goronyo wrote on Facebook.
