Jacob Agada, a retired immigration officer, has been killed by unknown gunmen in Ombi 2, Lafia, Nasarawa State.
The Quest Times gathered that the incident occurred on Thursday night.
Mr. Agada was said to be returning to his house at about 9pm when the hoodlums abducted him; and his lifeless body was later discovered in the area.
A source who expressed sadness over the incident, said Agada was pounced at and taken away by the hoodlums who were hiding not far from his gate.
The retired officer lived just beside a popular hotel in the area, he explained.
Alleging a spike in the spate of insecurity in the Ombi II, Danka, and Kwandare axis of the state recently, the source called for prayers to end the challenge.
The Nasarawa State Police Public Relations Officer, Ramhan Nansel, confirmed the incident.
