Army General Assassinated by Gunmen, Wife Abducted
The level of insecurity in the country is fast approaching a crescendo, and yet there is no glimmer of hope of a reprieve from the lawlessness and criminality that have enveloped the country.
The latest escalation in insecurity is the killing of a senior military officer, Major General Hassan Ahmed, former Provost Marshal of the Nigerian Army, by bandits in Abuja.
He was murdered Thursday night in the Abaji area. The assailants also kidnapped his wife.
According to a report, Ahmed and his wife were coming from Okene when they were attacked.
“They opened fire on his vehicle, he died. The driver pretended to be dead from the wound he sustained, so they took the wife away”, the family source said.
Until his death, Ahmed, army number N/9698 was the Director at the Army Headquarters in Abuja.
