Another source confirmed, “Yes, the governor’s younger sister, who was recently shot during an attack by bandits on her way to Abuja, has died.”
According to source, the tragic incident occurred last Thursday on Kente Road in Wukari Local Government Area, Taraba State. Atsi Kefas was traveling alongside her mother, Mrs. Jumai Kefas, when they were ambushed by gunmen.
During the chaos, a police officer providing security for the family accidentally shot Atsi while trying to fend off the attackers.
Efforts to reach the governor’s spokesperson, Emmanuel Bello, for comments were unsuccessful as he had not responded to messages at the time of this report.
