Suspected Boko Haram members on Friday night trailed and killed a prominent Islamic cleric, Malam Alaramma Dan-gubana at his residential house located at Unguwar Dogon Zare, Potiskum local government area of Yobe State.
Sunday Trust gathered that the incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. after the deceased returned from a nearby mosque where he observed night prayer (Ishai) and continued with his normal routine of teaching students (Almajirai) in front of his house.
“He stood to exchange pleasantries with some visitors when three people parked a Sharron Volkswagen bus and approached them. They shot him at a close range and escaped. We all scampered for safety,” a source said. The spokesman, Special Operation Batallion Damaturu, Captain Eli Lazarus confirmed that the Cleric was killed in front of his house.
The town of Potiskum has enjoyed many months of relative peace until recent days’ killings of innocent lives in some areas in the town.
