The witness, who preferred anonymity, said that the assailants, who were on a motorcycle, shot and killed the two Air Force officers in their vehicle before fleeing the area.
He also said that he learnt that the “the other attack was carried out at Hotoro Walawai area of Kano around 12:30 p.m.’’
He said that he gathered that the two victims of the second attack were standing in front of a house when the gunmen opened fire on them.

He said that the incident happened when some gunmen opened fire on the official vehicle of the officers.
“Two of the officers were killed in the attack which took place around 12 noon today,’’ he said.
