Suspected kidnappers on Saturday
abducted and killed the newly appointed transition committee chairman of Jos
East Local Government Area of Plateau State. Family sources told Premium Times
today that Hosea Azi was kidnapped on Friday evening along Miango road, in
Kufang, near former NYSC Secretariat in Jos South Local Government Area of the
state.
The sources said the politician
died alongside four of the six people who abducted him after the car in which
they were driving him away got involved in an accident in Keffi, Nasarawa
State.
The late Mr. Azi was appointed the
transition committee chairman of Jos East on Thursday, following the removal of
his predecessor, Sanda Agwom, by Governor Simon Lalong.
