Nigeria - Gunmen suspected to be hired assassins this Sunday morning shot and killed Governor Samuel Ortom's Principal Special Assistant on Knowledge Economy and Investments, Dr Tavershima Adyorough.
Reports say he was killed at his residence in Makurdi.
The latest victim makes it two of Ortom's aides killed in similar manner as the first was the governor's Senior Special Assistant on Security, Denen Igbana.
Igbana was shot and killed May, 20th, 2016, by yet-to-be identified gunmen at his Tion-Sha resident along Naka road in Makurdi.
It was gathered that the gunmen invaded late Dr. Adyorough's residence at about 12.10am on Sunday and killed him.
They also shot his wife who is now on admission in hospital.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP. Bashir Makama, said the police received information at about 12:20am today that two yet to be identified gunmen shot Adyorough and his wife in their residence at BIPC quarters in Nyiman, Makurdi.
"The police on arrival rushed the couple to the BSU teaching hospital where the man was confirmed dead while the wife is currently receiving treatment.
‘Five expended cartridges were also recovered from the scene of the crime," he said.
Makama said he has ordered immediate investigation to unravel those behind the heinous crime and assured members of the public that the perpetrators will surely be brought to book
Governor Ortom on his part described the killing as unacceptable and condemnable, as he urged security agencies to swing into action immediately so as to arrest those responsible for the dastardly act.
He added that the late Adyorough was a competent and dependable aide who delivered on assignments with dedication and honesty as he sympathized with the immediate family of the deceased.
