The father to one of my best social media friends ( Khadijat Lawal ) shot by Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen along the Abuja-Kaduna road.
Alh Lawal, is an aide to Shehu Sani, Senator representing Kaduna central, was on his way back to Kaduna alongside his brother after he visited the lawmaker in Abuja. The bandits blocked the road and opened fire on him.

I equally wished his brother safe return to his family fi-amanallah… Ameen…
