Reports indicate that gunmen have killed a General of the Nigerian Army. Ìn a most brazen and audacious manner, the gunmen, also, heartlessly abducted his wife.
The senior officer, Major General Hassan Ahmed, was, according to reports, killed in the Abaji area of Abuja.
The General and his wife were returning from Okene in Kogi State to their base in Abuja when the ugly incident occurred.
According to sources, the blood thirsty gunmen opened fire on the General’s vehicle which, instantly, killed the senior officer on the spot, while his driver reportedly survived by retending to be dead. They proceeded to abduct his wife, thereafter. It is not known, yet, if he travelled with his Orderly, and, if so, what became of him.
Major General Ahmed served as a Director at the Army Headquarters following his appointment by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya. He had, also, held the office of Nigerian Army’s Provost Marshal.
Neither the Army nor Defence Headquarters has issued a statement at the time of filing this report.
