Nasiru Sani Kaura, an All Progressives Congress (APC) e-registration supervisor, was killed in a mosque attack in northwestern Nigeria on Sunday, Nov. 15, while the number of worshippers abducted was not confirmed.
Zamfara State APC e-registration coordinator Yusuf Idris identified Kaura in a condolence statement quoted by Premium Times. Idris said attackers shot Kaura while he was praying at Lowcost Mosque in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area.
Daily Post, citing a post by security-monitoring platform Bakatsine, also reported the killing and abductions. The outlet said the number taken and their whereabouts were unclear, and that the Zamfara State Police Command had not issued a statement as of its filing.
In a separate incident on June 3, police said in a statement that seven students were taken from off-campus accommodation in the Kaura Namoda area. The Associated Press reported that one student escaped.
