BREAKING: Unknown gunmen kill NECO registrar, Godswill Obioma

Unknown gunmen suspected to be assassins, on Monday night, stormed the residence of the National Examination Council (NECO)’s Registrar, Professor Godswill Obioma, and strangled him to death.

Moreso, the deceased’s widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Obioma, told newsmen that “the assassins came in and killed him and left without taking anything.”

She added that her husband had just returned to Minna from a trip to Abuja when the armed men, lurking in his compound, descended on him and strangled him.

According to newsmen, all efforts to speak with the Niger State Police Command proved abortive as the police spokesperson neither picked nor returned his calls and text messages as of the time of filing this report.

You will recall that the 67-year-old indigene of Abia State was appointed NECO Registrar in May 2020.

Niger State in Nigeria’s North-Central has been a hotbed of killings and kidnappings of late as rampaging bandits terrorize the people of the state.

Just on Sunday, about 200 students of an Islamiyya school located at Tegina in the Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State were abducted.

One person was said to have been shot dead while another was critically injured after the gunmen carried out the kidnap operation on Sunday afternoon.
