Some unknown assassins have murdered a Nasarawa State-based medical practitioner, Dr Stephen Angbas, who is the owner of Lafia-Angbas Clinic.
It was gathered that Dr Stephen was killed in the late hours of Tuesday while returning from his farm on a motorcycle in the Awe Local Government Area of the state.
Some eyewitnesses who spoke to journalists said that the assassins who were suspected to be armed robbers attacked the doctor with machete and the motorcyclist who was conveying the late doctor to the farm.
Angbas succumbed to his injuries, while theij motorcycle rider identified as Mikailu Dahiru, was rushed to a nearby medical facility, where he is currently receiving urgent treatment for the severe wounds he sustained from the attack.
An official who works at the local government council, Audu Lawal, expressed deep concern over the incident and noted that the council chairman had notified security authorities for immediate intervention.
Meanwhile, the state’s police spokesperson, DSP Rahman Nansel, has also confirmed the report, saying, “Today, on the 17th of October 2023, at approximately 4:00 pm, mobile police operatives received distressing information regarding a fatal assault along the Jangargari-Awe Road.
“Tragically, the victims were a commercial motorcycle rider, Mikailu Dahiru, who survived the attack, and Dr. Angbass Stephen, who succumbed to multiple injuries inflicted on him.
“In light of this senseless violence, CP Maiyaki Baba extends heartfelt condolences to the bereaved’s family and has initiated a comprehensive investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.”
Nansel added, “The Commissioner encourages any member of the public with relevant information to come forward and assist in the swift apprehension of those responsible for this despicable act,”
