Seven gunmen attacked the Bauchi home of Mr. Zakka Magaji, Senior Special Assistant on Christian Religious Affairs to Governor Bala Mohammed, around 1:00 am. The aide was unhurt, but one person in the residence sustained injuries and was rushed to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital. The attack is perceived as targeted because of Magaji’s Christian identity.
