BREAKING: Gunmen kill Ortom’s security adviser

Weeks after he had a close shave with killer gunmen around his farm, Benue Gov Samuel Ortom has lost a security aide to gunmen.

The victim,  Senior Special Assistant Christopher Dega was killed in Jos, Plateau State Capital.

Dega, a retired AIG , was shot in the chest several times on Tuesday.

Benue has been in turmoil since 2016 as herdsmen escalate farmer-herder crisis in the state.

It’s however curious Dega was killed in Plateau, another hotbed of ethno-religious killing.

Both states are in the north-central part of Nigeria where herder-farmer crisis defines most security incidents.

Dega hailed from Katsina Ala local government area in Benue state .

Moe details of circumstances surrounding his death are yet to be announced officially.
