Atsi Kefas, the younger sister of Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas, has tragically passed away due to gunshot wounds she sustained during an attack in Kente village, Wukari Local Government Area. The incident occurred last Thursday when gunmen ambushed the vehicle carrying Atsi, 44, and her mother, Jumai Kefas. In the chaos, a police officer assigned to protect the family accidentally shot Atsi while trying to fend off the attackers.
Atsi received initial treatment at the Teaching Hospital in Wukari before being transferred to a hospital in Abuja, where she unfortunately succumbed to her injuries on Tuesday, December 10. The tragic incident has sent shockwaves throughout the country, with many Nigerians expressing their condolences to the family of Governor Agbu Kefas. The incident also highlights the growing concern over insecurity in Nigeria, particularly in the northern regions where banditry and kidnapping have become rampant.
