Barrister Chris Agidy, the Senior Legislative Aide (SLA) to Delta North politician Senator Ned Nwoko, who was kidnapped by bandits in 2023, has been murdered.

SP Josephine Adeh, the Federal Capital Territory’s Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed this on Tuesday.

Remember that in November 2023, gunmen kidnapped at least 19 people from their houses in the Galadimawa neighbourhood of the nation’s capital.

According to previous investigations, 12 of the abductees were slain.

However, the identities of the deceased were unknown while the legislator and security personnel resumed their efforts to save the lawyer.

The FCT PPRO confirmed the assassination on Tuesday, stating that the lawmaker’s aide was killed by Samaila Wakili, one of most wanted kidnappers terrorising the country’s capital.

Police captured Wakili on February 24 in the Sardauna Forest, Toto, Nasarawa State.

According to the FCT PPRO, after being arrested, the suspect “led police operatives to where Barr. Chris Agidy’s remains were.”

She went on to say that “the remains was recovered and deposited in Gwagwalada General Hospital” .
