Magaji was shot in his home and taken to Malumfashi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In another incident, bandits stormed Dutsen Reme low cost in Funtua Local Government and allegedly killed one Buhari Amadu (aka Buhari Michael), a member of Bakori Local Government Council who operated as a vigilante.

They also attacked Malumfashi’s Dan Rimi neighborhood, the headquarters of the Malumfashi local government, where two wives of a filling station manager were allegedly kidnapped.
