An eyewitness, who confirmed the story, said that security operatives of the Anti-Daba unit went to the area to effect an arrest of suspects but ended up firing shots which resulted in the killing of two young men.
The eyewitness said a group of youths, on Saturday, allegedly resisted giving money to the operatives who were at the area to make some arrest, resulting in the use of live ammunition by the operatives which allegedly caused the deaths. “Abubakar Isah died on the spot. Ibrahim Sulaiman (Mainasara), who was stabbed twice started bleeding. He was rushed to Murtala Muhammad Specialists Hospital where attempt to save his life failed,” he added.
