Hunter k!lls one, injures two in accidental shooting in Katsina

The Katsina State Police Command has arrested a 25-year-old hunter, Bashir Bala, for allegedly shooting three civilians, leading to the d3ath of one person in Malumfashi Local Government Area of the state. 

 

It was gathered that the incident occurred on Thursday at about 4:10p.m. when Bala, a member of a hunters’ group attached to the security personnel in Malumfashi, visited a known blackspot at Marabar Kankara to purchase cannabis. 

 

According to the report, an argument ensued during which Bala discharged his rifle, striking three civilians. 

 

“One civilian was confirmed d3ad at the scene while two others sustained gunshot injuries. The injured victims were rushed to the General Hospital for medical attention while the deceased’s body was released to his family after medical certification,” a police source told security analyst Zagazola Makama.

 

“A joint team comprising Police, the Nigerian Army and vigilantes responded to the scene, and the suspect has been apprehended. Security measures within the area of responsibility have also been reinforced.”

 

The command said preliminary investigation into the case had commenced.
