Gunmen have killed a police inspector, Donfa Chirtip, and abducted his wife, Victoria, at Kurmin Kare in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
This was disclosed by Zagazola Makama, a security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, in a post on X.
Makama explained that Inspector Donfa, who was attached to the Special Protection Unit Base 7 in Abuja, was returning from his farmland with his wife on Friday when they were attacked.
According to him, the officer’s lifeless body was later found in a farmland within the community on Friday evening, after security operatives arrived at the scene and discovered a deep cut on his neck.
He further stated that preliminary investigations suggested that the inspector and his wife, Mrs Victoria Chirtip, had gone to the farm earlier in the morning at about 7:00 a.m. on a motorcycle.
“They were believed to have been ambushed by unknown assailants on their way back in the evening,” he further explained.
A medical officer confirmed the inspector dead when his remains were taken to the Doka General Hospital.
Makama added that efforts by security operatives were ongoing to locate the missing wife and apprehend those responsible for the attack.
Meanwhile, attempts to reach the spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, Mansir Hassan, for confirmation were unsuccessful as he could not be reached.
