The Benue State Police Command
has announced the murder of one of its officers recently kidnapped by suspected
Fulani herdsmen in the state.
Recall that four policemen were
last week kidnapped and a security van burnt down after suspected Fulani
herdsmen ambushed security men in Logo LGA of the state.
The officers were said to be
returning from a confidence-building mission in remote villages when suspected
herdsmen opened fire on them in Tse Akpam village, near Azege town.
Giving update on the incident,
the command’s PRO, Moses Yamu said on Monday that the lifeless body
of the officer was discovered with both eyes, ears and nose plucked out.
He said, “The Command regrets to
announce the death of one of its NCO, who was one of the two remaining missing
policemen in the attack of 9/2/2018.
“He was found brutally
slaughtered, with eyes and ears as well as nose removed. We pray that God
Almighty grants him eternal rest.
“However, the police remain
committed to its statutory and daunting obligation of ensuring security as well
as protection of lives and property of all, please.”
