Sheriff formally reports Gubio’s death to INEC
The governor of
Borno State, Ali Sheriff, on Monday, formally reported the killing of
Modu Gubio, the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) gubernatorial
candidate for the state, to the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) in Abuja.
Mr. Gubio was one
of a number of ANPP leaders who was killed on Friday in Maidugari. Also
killed were Goni Sheriff, the younger brother of Governor Sheriff, and
five others.
Mr. Sheriff told
journalists, after meeting with electoral boss, Attahiru Jega, that his
mission to INEC was to notify the commission of the death of “their
governorship candidate.”
He, however, said that while security operatives were doing their
work to uncover those behind the killing, “we will not be deterred.”
