Fwd: General Ishaya Bamaiyi’s Sister, Granddaughter Assassinated

Culled From:	Ladun Liadi

The elder sister of retired Lt Gen Ishaya Bamaiyi, Madam Saratu Bamaiyi and her 12-year old granddaughter has been assassinated in their Kebbi home. Unknown gunmen on Thursday invaded the elderly woman's house, shot her and her granddaughter, and then dumped their bodies in a well.

The State Commissioner of police who confirmed the incident while speaking with a reporter on Thursday night in Birnin, Kebbi said the incident occurred between 3.00pm and 4.00pm same Thursday at her residence at Zuru Center (ZC), Zuru , in Zuru Local Government of the state.

He added that the 75-year-old Saratu was hit and killed with a pestle by unknown persons and her body alongside her 12-year-old granddaughter was dragged and dumped in a well.

"She and her granddaughter were murdered and then dragged into the well inside the house. I don't think it was by the use of gun. They used a pestle to attack them.

"It appears not to be murder for robbery because she was having some money in her handbag, money from sales from her provision store outside the house.

"The bag containing the money was also dumped with the bodies inside the well. We also discovered wraps of money possibly for contribution in the house because she was a woman leader in the community. The unspecified amount of wrapped money was not touched.

"So that made us think that it was not robbery that led to that but probably assassination. But we are investigating the unfortunate incident," he said.
