Personal aide of Ned Nwoko murdered by kidnappers, police recover body

A personal aide to politician Ned Nwoko, Chris Agidy, who was abducted by some kidnappers on November 2023 has been murdered.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, verified in the report that the murdered aide of the politician has been recovered.

Recall that gunmen kidnapped at least 19 people from their houses in the Galadimawa neighborhood of the nation’s capital in November.

A previous story stated that 12 of the abductees were slain.

However, the identities of the deceased were unknown while the congressman and security personnel resumed their efforts to save the lawyer’s aide.

The FCT PPRO confirmed the incident on Tuesday, saying the lawmaker’s aide was killed by one of the kidnappers plaguing the country’s capital, Samaila Wakili.

The FCT PPRO said the suspect, upon his arrest, “led police operatives to where the remains of Barr. Chris Agidy is”.

She noted that “the remains were recovered and deposited in Gwagwalada General Hospital”.
