Abdulmutalib, a third class Chief was thrailed to his guest  House in Sansani town by two gunmen on a motorcycle at about 9.30 pm and shot him on the chest severely.  

A resident of Sansani who pleaded anonymity told National Trail that the third class Chief had prepared to travel to Wukari for a government programme on the 18 April but decided to put off the journey and drove  to his guest house along with his driver and two of his guards at about 9.30 pm.

The source added that the two gunmen suddenly thrailed the paramount ruler few minutes after he entered the guest house and shot him where he was sitting on a bench. 

According to the source, the gunmen shot him severally on the chest to ensure he was dead before fleeing the area. 

The  police public relations officer to the Taraba command, DSP Abdullahi Usman confirmed the killing of the third class Chief of Sansani.
