The Association of Motor Dealers of Nigeria (AMDON), Kebbi State Chapter, has condemned the alleged killing of one of its members, Tukur Alhaji Salihu, reportedly by operatives of the Federal Operations Unit (FOU) of the Nigeria Customs Service, Zone B, Kaduna, attached to Kebbi State.
Salihu was said to have been shot on February 7, 2026, between 11:00 a.m. and 12 noon along the Nagari College–Illela Yari axis in Birnin Kebbi.
In a statement signed by the association’s secretary, Shehu Yusuf Bunza, AMDON described the incident as disturbing, linking it to wider concerns over alleged extrajudicial killings and human rights abuses.
The association said the incident has thrown its members and residents into fear, noting that it occurred in broad daylight.
AMDON called on the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant security agencies to thoroughly investigate the incident and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. It also urged the Kebbi State Government to intervene.
According to the statement, Salihu was a passenger at the time of the incident and was allegedly shot several times. He was rushed to a hospital, where he later died the same night.
The deceased was buried in his hometown of Argungu. He is survived by two wives, seven children, and his parents.
The association further called on the Nigeria Customs Service to investigate the matter and put measures in place to prevent a recurrence. It also appealed to the Kebbi State Government to provide support to the bereaved family.
AMDON said it has formally reported the incident to the appropriate authorities and appealed to the public to remain calm and law-abiding. The group also urged human rights organizations to closely monitor the case to ensure accountability.
