Army Provost Marshal: Security agencies comb area where Gen. Hassan Ahmed was killed

Men of the Nigerian Military and other security agencies have launched an ‘aggressive’ joint operation at the Koton Karfe axis of Kogi State.

A former Provost Marshal of the Nigerian Army, Major General Hassan Ahmed, was shot dead by unknown gunmen at Koton Karfe while he was returning to Abuja from Kogi State capital.

Recently, the Koton Karfe axis has been a hotspot for kidnapping by armed bandits, who usually target motorists.

Aside from the incidence of kidnappings, bandits also receive ransom for persons they abduct at their enclaves, within the axis.
