Atsi, the younger sister of Taraba State Governor, Agbus Kefas, has died from gunshot injuries she sustained in a police accidental discharge.
She reportedly died in a hospital in the nation’s capital Abuja, where she had been receiving treatment after the incident.
Atsi, 44, was accidentally shot by a police escort during an attack by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers.
The motorcycle-riding gunmen had attacked the convoy of Kefas’s mother along the Wukari-Kente road in Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State on Thursday, December 5, 2024.
It was gathered that a police escort in the convoy tried to fire at the gunmen who attempted to block the vehicle conveying the Governor’s mother, Jummai Kefas, but the bullet accidentally hit Atsi, who was sitting next to her mother.
She was reportedly rushed to the Teaching Hospital, Wukari, but was later flown to Abuja for further treatment.
