However, the identities of the deceased were not clear as the lawmaker and the security operatives continued efforts to rescue the lawyer.
Confirming the killing on Tuesday, the FCT PPRO said the lawmaker’s aide was killed by one of the wanted notorious kidnappers terrorizing the country’s capital city, Samaila Wakili.
Wakili was arrested on February 24 at the Sardauna Forest, in the Toto area of Nasarawa State, by police operatives.
The FCT PPRO said the suspect, upon his arrest, “led police operatives to where the remains of Barr. Chris Agidy is”.
She noted that “the remains were recovered and deposited in Gwagwalada General Hospital”.
