A wave of shock and anger has enveloped Bauchi State following the gruesome murder of Mrs. Jamima J. Dutse, a former Zonal Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi South.
The prominent political figure was attacked at her private residence by unknown assailants. According to emerging reports, the attackers invaded her home before inflicting deadly injuries and fleeing the scene immediately. She was rushed to a nearby medical facility, where she was tragically pronounced dead.
The brutal killing has triggered widespread outrage across political, social, and civic circles.
