A bandit’s attack on Odo-Ere, the headquarters of Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State, has resulted in the death of a civil defence officer and the abduction of his daughter.
According to sources, the victim, identified as Mr Ayo, a member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), was shot in the head on Monday during the attack on the community.
A source confirmed that Mr Ayo was rushed to a medical facility but was declared dead on arrival. His remains have since been deposited in a mortuary as a “Brought-In-Dead” case.
