“The armed men arrived Maisaka’s house late yesterday (Monday) night and met him and his wife in the living room and shot him dead.
“The gunmen first visited the boys quarters and picked his personal physiologist and they forced him to lead them into the main house. During the commotion, they instantly killed him.
“It is certainly a case of a planned murder. Because the (gunmen) responded to his wife that they didn’t have business with her, and just casually left the house without picking a thing or threatening anyone further.”
Gwantu added that it is possible that Maisaka's killers and their accomplices must have held a long grudge with him because he has not been in the public eye due to a long battle with poor health conditions.
