Wanted Benue Militia Leader Terwase Akwaza, alias Gana, has been shot dead.
The Commander of the Four Special Forces command, Doma Local Government Area, Brigadier General Maude Ali Gadzama, confirmed the development to Channels Television via telephone on Tuesday.
Gadzama revealed Gana was killed on Tuesday evening in a firefight with military personnel.
In 2017, the Nigerian police declared Gana wanted after he was alleged to have killed “several innocent persons”.
The Benue State Government, at the time, placed a N10 million naira bounty on him.
In an exclusive interview with Channels Television in 2016, Gana had denied any involvement in the killing of Mr. Denen Igbana, a security aide to Governor Samuel Ortom.•Adapted from aChannels TV report.
