According to vanguard newspapers, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, was still trying to confirm the news when he was contacted.
A source in the Community, however, said:“They shot everybody in sight at the compound. I can confirm that he is dead. I heard some were rushed to the hospital. I don’t know if all the others were his children or family members.
“Adube was a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC). But I don’t know if the action of the gunmen had anything to do with politics.
“I also heard that two other persons were shot dead this night at Omoku”, the source said.
He said the late Adube was a Caretaker Committee Chairman some years back of the local government and until his death was the political leader of Usomini zone in the local government area.
