Alhaji Sagir Hamidu, an APC governorship aspirant in Zamfara in the 2019 governorship election has been killed by unknown gunmen on Kaduna-Abuja highway. According to a family source, he was shot dead on Sunday evening.
It was gathered from the deceased’s elder brother, Kabiru Hamidu, that Sagir was killed near Abuja while he was returning from where he had gone to spend the weekend. Kabiru who said the family members were still gathering details of what happened from the authorities and possible eye witnesses explained that details could only be made available by Monday [today].
