Suspected assassins have killed a member of the First Aid group of the Jama’atulzalatilBid’ahWalqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) in the Federal Capital Territory, Khalid Adamu.
The deceased, who until his death was the financial secretary of the aid group in the Lugbe community, was killed by the assailants who broke into his house at Zamani village, near the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the early hours of Thursday, April 3, 2025.
His elder sister, Rabiatu Danjuma, told Daily Trust on the phone that the gang was about 20 in number, adding that five of them broke into his sitting room, where one of her younger sisters was sleeping and moved to his bedroom where they met him with his wife.
They engaged him in fighting before cutting him around his head and other parts of his body.
“One of them who stood over my younger sister in the sitting room had told her that they were sponsored to kill him,’’ she said
The late Khalid, who was a cargo clearance agent at the Abuja airport, left no child, parents behind.
The sister, however, said he adopted children from his relatives and took care of them.
The chairman, the Tafseer committee of JIBWIS in FCT, Imam Yunusa Musa Almadani, confirmed that the deceased was buried around 12pm yesterday.
