Suspected kidnappers have killed a 28-year-old member of a vigilante group, identified as Goyok Jamok, at Magi Mbar village in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred at about 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 10, when troops of Sector 5, Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP), deployed at Mbar, responded to a report of an attack on the vigilante member.
On arrival at the scene, the troops discovered that Jamok had been shot dead by the suspected kidnappers.
The sources said the assailants abandoned their mission and fled upon sighting the approaching troops.
The victim’s relatives subsequently evacuated his remains for burial.
The sources added that efforts were ongoing to track down and apprehend the fleeing suspects. (Zagazola)
