How Gunmen Killed Three Ndlea In Kogi by ruggedmallaam(m): 10:09am On Oct 16, 2017 |
Three operatives of the
National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency
have been shot dead by
unidentified gunmen in
Okene.
The News Agency of
Nigeria reports that the
Commandant of the
NDLEA in Kogi State,
Alhaji Idris Bello, told
journalists on Sunday in
Lokoja that the three
operatives were gunned
down while on patrol.
He said they were killed
at about 8.30pm on
Friday, October 13,
2017, by the gunmen,
“who emerged from
nowhere.”
Bello said the gunmen
came on foot, adding
that the incident
occurred close to the
main gate of the
Federal College of
Education, Okene.
He identified the
operatives killed as
Nicholas Onwumere,
Ebun Peters and
Abdulrahman Musa.
The commandant
explained that the
NDLEA officers were on
duty alongside three
other colleagues when
the gunmen struck.
Bello said the officers
died on the spot, while
the three other
colleagues escaped
death by a whisker.
He said the gunmen
collected two Lar riffles
belonging to the dead
officers before fleeing
from the scene.
The NDLEA boss added
that other security
agencies in the state
had been contacted,
saying efforts were
being made to track
down the killers and
make them face the
consequences of their
action.
NAN reports that the
Kogi State Government
had in August
established a ‘Forward
Operation Base’ in
Okene in partnership
with the Nigerian Army
to check kidnapping,
armed robbery and
other violent crimes.
However, the initiative
has yet to yield the
desired result, according
to residents.
The residents also said
the latest killing might
be the handiwork of
Boko Haram, which had
been striking at soft
targets in northern
Nigeria, having been
reportedly degraded by
the Nigerian armed
forces.
NAN reports that Kogi,
seen as the spiritual
headquarters of the
jihadist movement, had
witnessed bloody
attacks by Boko Haram
in recent years.www.punchng.com |
