The kidnapped police officer attached to the Criminal Investigation Department, CID, in Borno State, Watha Yaga, who hails from Chibok Local Government Area of the state, has been killed by his abductors.

His body, according to a reliable source, was found yesterday in a remote village called Ndaba near Gwoza Local Government Area of the state. The police officer, our correspondent gathered, was on Monday kidnapped in Pilka by gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect in Gwoza council area of the state. The gunmen took him away and had not demanded any ransom before killing him.

Yaga’s abduction brings to two kidnapped cases targeted at security personnel, particularly policemen in the last one week by suspected terrorists. The first was a failed attempt when gunmen suspected to be terrorists ambushed a police patrol vehicle in Bama Council Area where the Divisional Police Officer, (name withheld) escaped with bullet wounds, while four policemen and two of the suspects were killed as well as shops and houses around the Bama Central Market were razed down in the deadly encounter.

It was also gathered that the gunmen only interrogated their victim on the modus operandi of the security agencies, but when the victim could not volunteer the needed information, the gunmen killed him and thereafter dump the body on the outskirts of Ndaba village.

When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Gideon Jubrin’s cell phone was switched off while that of his boss, Yuguda Abdullahi, the police commissioner, rang severally, but he did not pick it as at the time of filing this report, but a top police officer, who did not want his name mentioned, confirmed the incident.
