“This is a great loss to journalism profession, Zamfara and Nigeria as a whole.
“We pray to Allah to forgive his sins and grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss.”
Idris said that the state APC leadership, has therefore, urged security agencies to investigate and bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book.
