The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara, led by the former governor, Abdul’aziz Yari, mourned the death of Alhaji Sagir Hamida, former APC governorship aspirant in 2019, who was killed by unknown gunmen along the Abuja-Kaduna Federal Highway.

In a statement issued in Gusau on Monday by the State Chairman, Publicity Committee of the Yari-led APC faction, Ibrahim Birnin-Magaji described the death of Sagir as a great loss not only to his immediate family but also to the entire people of the state and Nigerians.
