Sani Murtala, brother-in-law of Katsina State Assembly member representing Sabuwa LGA, Alhaji Ibrahim Danjuma Machika, has died from a gunshot injury.

Murtala was tragically hit by a stray bullet in Machika town during the Governor Dikko Umar Radda‘s condolence visit.

The governor had traveled to the area to sympathize with the family of the late father of the assembly member.

It was gathered that officers from the Community Watch Corps, who were part of the Governor’s security entourage, began firing shots into the air during the visit.

Unfortunately, one of the stray bullets struck several individuals, including Murtala, who had been quietly seated nearby.

Murtala succumbed to his injuries, while others wounded in the incident are currently receiving medical care.
