Markus Ishaya, a campaign coordinator to
the Kaduna State Governor-elect, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, was on Tuesday
killed by unknown gunmen.
Ishaya was said to have been trailed by
the gunmen to his house in the Atuku Kasa area of Jema’am Local Governor
Area of the state.
He was a local campaign coordinator of the governor-elect at the Atuku Ward.
According to the spokesman for the All
Progressives Congress Kaduna Campaign Council, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, the
coordinator was shot severally by the yet-to-be identified gunmen.
A statement by Aruwan said the APC in the state was notified of the death by the deceased’s family.
The statement said the killing of Ishaya
had brought to 10 the number of members of the APC that had been killed
in the state before, during and after the elections.
A family source said the men, two in
numbers, who were heavily armed, stormed the residence of the APC
chieftain and shot him severally, adding that “they didn’t pick any
property in his residence except carrying out the ungodly act.”
The statement also added that “The
Police have confirmed the incident. The police have also visited the
scene of the crime and have commenced investigation.
“While we appreciate their prompt
action, our expectation is that the security agencies will fully
investigate this killing and prosecute the perpetrators.
“Security agencies must adequately protect Nigerians irrespective of their status and standing.”
The governor-elect, while condoling with the family, prayed for the soul of the deceased.
El-Rufai said, “Our empathy and prayers
go to the family of Mr. Markus Ishaya and the entire community over this
callous murder and desecration of human life.
“May Almighty God grant his soul eternal rest and give his family and friends the fortitude to bear this painful loss.”
