Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas’ sister Atsi has died from gunshot injuries she sustained in a police accidental discharge.
A source close to the Taraba State Government confirmed the death of the governor’s sister to Daily Trust on Tuesday.
The source pleaded anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the matter.
Kefas’ sister died in an undisclosed hospital in Abuja where she was receiving treatment after the incident.
Gunmen on motorcycles suspected to be kidnappers attacked the convoy of Kefas’ mother along Wukari-Kente road in Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State on December 5.
It was further learnt that a police escort in the convoy tried to fire at the gunmen who attempted to block the vehicle conveying the governor’s mother, Jummai Kefas, but the bullet accidently hit Atsi, 44, who was sitting next to her mother.
Atsi was reportedly rushed to the Teaching Hospital, Wukari but was later flown to Abuja for further treatment.
