The source said the hoodlums numbering over 20 stormed
the premises of the command on motorcycles at about 10 a.m. and opened fire on
the FRSC personnel.
“There was confusion as sounds of sporadic gunshots
rented the air, while the road safety officials around scampered for safety in
different directions.
“However, one of the officials was unlucky as he was shot
and killed by the attackers,” he said.
According to him, one of the gunmen was killed by
soldiers who quickly mobilised to the scene, while the rest escaped into the
bush abandoning their motorcycles.
The FRSC Public Education Officer and Spokesman, Bisi
Kazeem, confirmed the incident.
“It is true that our command in Tsafe, Zamfara, was
attacked this morning.
“A Deputy Route Commander of the FRSC was killed by the
hoodlums while other staff escaped with one still missing,” Mr. Kazeem told
NAN.
He said the Police and the Army had taken over the
matter.
According to him, the Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, has
condemned the “unprovoked” attack but sued for calm among officials and the
general public.
“He is confident that both the police and the army will
bring the perpetrators to justice.
“The corps marshal has also reassured officers and men of
the corps of their security and safety anywhere in the country.”
