The Nasarawa State Coordinator of the Fadama III project, Mr. Hassan Yahaya Egwa was on Thursday night murdered by gunmen in Lafia, the state’s capital.
The 32 years old was killed at his residence in Angwan Mai Matasa in Lafia by yet-to-be identified gunmen.
Egwa was said to have been dragged out of his car by the assailants who waited in front of his residence and then whisked him few metres away from his house before killing him and went away with some of his vital organs.
Meanwhile, the Nasarawa State Government has condemned the brutal murder of its official, describing Egwa’s killing as cowardly and dastardly.
Governor Abdullahi Sule, in a statement reacting to the murder by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ibrahim Addra, vowed that the perpetrators will be pursued and brought to justice.
“During a condolence visit to the residence of the deceased in Lafia, Governor Sule said the late Hassan was a brilliant and committed young man who gave his best to uplift the lives of the people through the NG-cares programme.
“Governor Sule added that his dedication, selfless service to the state and his pleasant disposition will be missed,” the statement added.
Accordingly, the governor has since directed security agencies in the state to carry diligent investigation to pursue, fish out the perpetrators of the dastardly act and bring them to book.
The governor maintained that criminality does not have a place in the society, urging all to shun crime while reiterating government’s resolve to prioritise security and welfare of the people.
The statement further urged the deceased family, colleagues and friends to take solace in the many contributions of the deceased to society, while praying that Allah grant his soul eternal rest in Jannat Firdausi.
