The victims are one Abdullahi Mohammed Gobirawa, his wife Binta
Abdullahi and his son Hassan Abdullahi.
The State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel
Aruwan, said the incident happened on Monday afternoon when the
angry mob stormed the home of the deceased identified to be informants
to bandits who are responsible for the recent kidnappings in the area.
After killing the three family members, the mob also looted their
property before setting their house ablaze.
Receiving the reports, Governor Nasir El-Rufai expressed sadness at the
violent actions of the citizens, and strongly condemned the extra-judicial
killings.
He stressed that lawful means alone should be adopted in confronting
suspicions of criminality, as the destructive practice of self-help would
only result in greater harm.
The Governor, therefore, directed security agencies to conduct thorough
investigations into the incident and urged citizens to maintain order.
