One Abubakar Gwantu, who is said to be close to the family of late Air Vice Marshall Mohammed Maisaka (retd), has claimed that hired assassins, not bandits, killed the senior military officer.
Vanguard quotes Gwantu as saying, “the Armed men arrived Maisaka’s house late yesterday (Monday) night and met him and his wife in the living room and shot him dead.
“The gunmen first visited the boys quarters and picked his personal physiologist and they forced him to lead them into the main house. During the commotion, they instantly killed AVM Maisaka.”
He adds: “It is certainly a case of a planned murder. Because the gunmen responded to his wife, that they didn’t have business with her and just casually left the house without picking a thing or threatening anyone further.”
Furthermore, Gwantu said late Maisaka had been “paralyzed” for some years.
Until his murder, Maisaka was the owner and Managing Director of MSK Hospital.
Meanwhile, the police in Kaduna says they are investigating the case, vowing to get to the root of the matter. Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Kaduna Command, ASP Muhammad Jalige, confirmed the killing, saying the deceased’s gateman was also injured in the attack.
