The Police Command in Plateau has confirmed the killing of Nandi Drenkat, a lecturer with the University of Jos, by gunmen.
Edward Egbuka, the Commissioner in-charge of the command, confirmed the incident at a news briefing on Sunday in Jos.
“Immediately we received the information, a combined team of conventional policemen, mobile men, the anti-kidnapping unit, vigilantes and hunters were deployed to the hilly areas where the kidnapped victim was suspected to have been kept. “Consequently, the deceased kidnapped daughter alongside another victim, Chiboze Joseph, were rescued unhurt,” he said.
The commissioner, however, regretted that one of the hunters was shot during the gun duel and was later confirmed dead. In a separate incident, the Police Command in Benue on Sunday confirmed the abduction of Emmanuel Nwankwo, a businessman, from his residence in Makurdi.
