Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has condemned the
assassination of his Senior Special Assistant on Security, retired Assistant
Inspector General of Police, AIG, Christopher Dega.
Ortom described the death as a huge blow to his
administration and the entire state.
Gunmen on Tuesday shot dead
Christopher Dega.
He was murdered by unknown gunmen in Jos, the Plateau State
Capital.
Speaking to newsmen at Benue Peoples House, Makurdi, on
Wednesday, the Governor lamented that the retired AIG was very active even in
retirement.
He said it was painful that he was gunned down in such a
gruesome manner.
“Retired AIG Dega served with me here and this is someone
who has retired but is not tired and was very active. So for him to have been
murdered in the manner they did, a retired AIG gunned down. This is very sad.”
Ortom stressed that insecurity had bedevilled the North
East, North West and North Central, South South, South East, South West, and
called on security agencies to find the killers of his aide.
He sympathized with the family, friends and former
colleagues of the deceased and prayed to God to grant him eternal rest.
