The chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, Mallam Sa’adu Musa Tilde, was on Tuesday shot dead by gunmen.
The latest incident came while the state was still reeling from the assassination of a brother to a former deputy Senate President, Senator Ibrahim Mantu, in the same council area.
Gunmen stormed the Gindiri district of the local government area on Sunday and abducted Alhaji Hashimu Mantu before he was killed and his body dumped at a nearby bush.
The state chairman of MACBAN, Mallam Nura Mohammed, confirmed the killing of Mallam Tilde to the Nigerian Tribune.
