The incident took place around 6:00 p.m. between Nunku in Akwanga Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, and Gwantu in Sanga Local Government Area, Kaduna State.
During the attack, the assailants killed the police escort assigned to Dr. Kigbu, who had tried to thwart the abduction.
A source reported that the bandits fired their weapons indiscriminately, causing widespread panic among motorists in the area.
Local residents confirmed that the incident occurred in a region known for frequent criminal activities.
Efforts to reach the spokesman for the Nasarawa State Police Command for confirmation were unsuccessful, as calls went unanswered at the time of this report.
