Shettima condoles slain Borno CAN scribe’s family

Gover-nor Kashim Shettima of Borno State has commiserated with the families and the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, over the death of its Secretary, Borno State chapter, Rev. Faye Pama Musa who was assassinated by gunmen, Tuesday.
The gunmen suspected  to be members of Boko Haram sect shot dead the cleric at his Government Reservation Area, GRA, residence at about 7.30 p.m. Tuesday.
Shettima while describing the death of Musa as shocking, promised to leave no stone unturned, as his administration would collaborate with the security agencies in order to apprehend the culprits.
He said Musa was a very gentle, humble man with the fear of God, adding that government will ensure that his family is adequately taken care of and prayed that God would grant the soul of the deceased eternal rest.
The gunmen, according to an eyewitness, scaled over the wall and burst into the parlour, before firing several gunshots into his head and chest. He died in the presence of his wife and children.
According to an eyewitness, “we were sitting under a tree when two gunmen walked to the backyard of our Reverend Father’s house and climbed over the wall. Two minutes latter, we heard four gunshots in the house.
“The soldiers rushed to the scene, 10 minutes after the gunmen had fled towards Polo area of Maiduguri metropolis.”
Our correspondent also learnt that the residence of the slain cleric was cordoned off including the access road to the GRA residence for two hours, before the 9pm curfew by men of Joint Task Force, JTF, to prevent further attacks,.
Confirming the incident Wednesday, the Borno State Police Command spokesman, Gideon Jibrin, said there was an attack on a cleric’s residence in the GRA, where one was feared killed by hoodlums.
