The command’s intelligence section, according to Kiyawa, has initiated a manhunt for the gunmen.
He went on to say that the cops would not rest until the perpetrators of the crime were arrested.
The shooters allegedly forced their way inside the residence and wounded the security guards stationed at the gate.
The gunmen reportedly tied down the on-duty security staff but were unable to get entry to Aliyu.
