Unidentified gunmen today killed the younger brother of Andrew Yakubu, the Group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
Sources close to the family in Kaduna revealled that Yohanna Yakubu who is also a staff of NNPC was killed by unidentified gunmen suspected to be hired assassins.
“We are sure the killers must be assassins because, Yakubu has been receiving series of threats in recent time,” the source stated.
He also expressed strong belief that the target might have been the NNPC boss,Andrew Yakubu, “but since they could not get him , they unleashed terror on his brother perhaps to make a statement”.
Information however gathered that the killers who drove in a tinted glass vehicle ambushed Yakubu’s younger brother along Kaduna-Kachia Road this morning and opened fire on the car.
He was traveling with his wife and child to attend a funeral service at Zango-Kataf in honour of the late father of a close friend .
