Babatunji Wusu –
Barrister Chris Agidy was a Senior Legislative Aide (SLA) to Senator Ned Nwoko, a senator from Delta North, who was abducted by bandits in 2023.
This was confirmed on Tuesday by SP Josephine Adeh, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Remember that gunmen abducted at least 19 people in November 2023 from their houses in the nation’s capital’s Galadimawa neighborhood.
It was previously reported that 12 of the kidnappees had died.
The legislator and security personnel were still working to save the attorney, so it was unclear who the deceased were.
The FCT PPRO confirmed the death on Tuesday, stating that Samaila Wakili, one of the infamous kidnappers who is on the run and terrorizing the nation’s capital city, killed the legislator’s assistant.
Police officers detained Wakili on February 24 at the Sardauna Forest in the Toto area of Nasarawa State.
After being apprehended, the suspect allegedly “led police operatives to where the remains of Barr. Chris Agidy are,” according to the FCT PPRO.
“The remains was recovered and deposited in Gwagwalada General Hospital,” the statement reads.
