Spokesman of the command, Mr Okasanmi Ajayi in a text message responding to enquiries by DAILY POST on Sunday confirmed the development.<\/p>\n

Herdsmen attack Kwara APC spokesman\u2019s farm, several injured<\/p>\n

DAILY POST gathered that the gunmen killed Hawawu and kidnapped her husband, Lukman in a bloody attack on Saturday along Federal Polytechnic, Offa, permanent site.<\/p>\n

It was suspected that the wife identified the assailants, and shouted for help during the attack, which prompted the gunmen to shoot her dead, while the husband was whisked away to an unknown destination.<\/p>\n

The victim, according to findings, is a businessman who sells London used phones at Owode market in Offa.<\/p>\n

The abduction triggered a protest by residents of offa, who stormed the Olofa of Offa\u2019s palace demanding the rescue and release of the captive.<\/p>\n

The kidnappers have reportedly demanded a N20m ransom for the release of Lukman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
