Miss Atsi Kefas, a sister of the Taraba State governor, Agbu Kefas, who was “accidentally shot” by a police escort, has died.
A source disclosed that the governor’s sister died at a hospital in Abuja, where she was taken to for advanced medical care.
“She died last night (Monday). She finally succumbed to her injuries. The governor and his family are yet to release an official statement on the passing of Atsi Kefas. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time,” the source said.
LEADERSHIP reports that Atsi Kefas was said to be travelling last Thursday along Kente Road in the Wukari Local Government Area of the state when the incident occurred.
Meanwhile, all efforts to speak with Governor Kefas’ official spokesperson, Emmanuel Bello, proved abortive as he didn’t reply to messages sent to his known phone number at press time on Tuesday.
