It Shows Depth Of Decay In Our Society – Atiku Speaks On Sheikh Aisami’s Murder

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has condemned the murder of Sheikh Goni Aisami by some serving military men.

Naija News recalls that Sheikh Goni Aisami Gashua, last Friday, was murdered by two suspected soldiers, Lance Corporals John Gabriel and Adamu Gideon of the 241Recce Battalion, Nguru, Yobe State.

According to reports, Sheikh Aisami was driving back to Gashua from Nguru, when he offered to give a soldier a ride in his car from where he met him at the military check-point to Jaji-Maji in Karasuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State. However, he reportedly shot him dead in cold blood some kilometres away and called his colleague to assist in fleeing with the deceased vehicle.
