Residents of Nasarawa State were still in shock yesterday over
the discovery of the bodies of two bankers and their driver.
They were allegedly ambushed by suspected Ombatse boys,
who took them to the bush, killed them, set them ablaze with
their car and buried them with the car by the riverside.
The incident happened at Tudun Adabu in Obi Local
Government.
The Police Command has arrested 14 suspects in connection
with the murder.
The deceased bankers are Alhaji Hassan Gidado, who was the
managing director of the Police Microfinance Bank, and Mr.
Tunde Banwo.
The police, at a news conference on Monday, said after the
the bodies were exhumed, they were deposited at the
Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital in Lafia.
It was gathered that the two top bankers, who lived in Abuja,
were in Lafia for the wedding of a child of the police
commissioner-in-charge of Cooperative.
Police Commissioner Umar Shehu said the suspected killers
would soon be taken to court. He assured residents that
measures had been taken to curb the activities of the
outlawed Ombatse group.
