Armed men suspected to be assassins have killed Senator Bala Na Allah’s eldest son; Captain Abdulkarim Bala Na Allah.
The son of Na’Allah, Deputy Senate Majority Leader was found dead in his bedroom at Malali in Kaduna on Saturday evening.
According to NewsWireNGR, the 36-year-old pilot, was tied and strangled while the assailants escaped with his vehicle and personal belongings.
The Special Adviser to Senator Na Allah, Garba Mohammed, while confirming the tragic incident, said the assailants had gained entrance to the house through the roof behind the house and entered his section through the ceiling.
Garba Mohammed said a neighbour’s security guard had noticed the gate of the deceased home opened and raised the alarm which led to the discovery of the remains of the pilot.
Senator Na Allah, who is presently not in the country, has three sons who are all pilots.
Speaking to journalists, Mohammed said the funeral prayers of the deceased will hold at Yahaya road while burial will take place at Unguwan Sarki cemetery.
A spokesman for the police in Kaduna did not immediately return a request for comments.

Both the military and President Muhammadu Buhari said a manhunt has commenced for the assailants.
