Environment in ex-Governor Ali Modu Sherrif’s administration, was

“The heavily armed men stormed Alhaji Kaasa’s residence around 1 a.m. in Maiduguri and shot him several times,” said the relative.
He added that the killers did not leave until they ascertained that the former commissioner was dead. He disclosed that the assailants then thoroughly searched Mr. Kaasa’s home and took away some of his belongings.
A security source in Maiduguri confirmed the tragic shooting. The source added that agents of the Joint Task Force were combing the area near Mr. Kaasa’s home and interviewing other relatives in hopes of discovering any clues that would lead them to the assailants.
