An employee of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), Yusuf Ibrahim Kadimu, has reportedly been m#rdered in the Tudun Kauri area of Lafia, Nasarawa State, late Tuesday night.
Eyewitnesses say the 37-year-old was found face-down in a pool of blood with severe injuries near the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office, close to the Nasarawa Broadcasting Service (NBS) premises.
It is alleged that he may have been attacked by individuals he attempted to help, who allegedly assaulted him and fled with his motorcycle.
His identity remained unknown until his relatives arrived at the scene and confirmed it was Yusuf.
Speaking to reporters, his uncle, Umaru Kasimu, condemned the killing and urged security agencies to act swiftly in tracking down the perpetrators. “This is a tragic and senseless loss. We demand justice,” he said.
The state police command is yet to comment on the sad incident.
