Gunmen have killed a police inspector, identified as
Otor Ejiga, in Makurdi.
The officer, who was attached to the Mega Internally
Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp along Gbajimba Road, was reportedly shot dead
while manning an illegal lone roadblock near the camp.
According to reports, the attackers made away with the
officer’s service rifle following the incident.
A patrol team later recovered his body and deposited
it at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital mortuary for autopsy.
Security sources say efforts are ongoing to track down
the perpetrators and recover the stolen weapon.
Authorities have also ordered a full investigation
into the incident, while the supervising officer has reportedly been queried
over alleged lapses in oversight.
