Chris Terfa, the executive director of Concerned Youth Development Initiative (CYDI) and a humanitarian worker, was allegedly shot and murdered by as-yet-unidentified gunmen near the Logo 1 axis in Makurdi, Benue State.
The attackers were reported to have tracked down the deceased on Friday night and shot him dead at his workplace in Makurdi’s Logo 1 neighborhood.
It has also been stated that Terfa’s assassins fired shots at the on-duty security guard as they attempted to enter the office building.
The assassins reportedly covered the deceased’s mouth with a pillow before shooting him.
Witnesses said that Terfa was rushed to the hospital after the gunmen fled but was confirmed dead on arrival.
His corpse was said to have been deposited at the morgue of the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH) in Makurdi.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Catherine Anene, had yet to confirm the incident as her telephone line was not reachable.
It was learnt that one suspect had been arrested in connection with the murder.
