A retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Christopher Dega, was assassinated on Tuesday by gunmen in Jos, the Plateau State capital. Dega was, until his death, a security aide to Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom. The late Dega hailed from Katsina Ala Local Government Area in Benue State. “Retired AIG Dega served with me here and this is someone who has retired, but was 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 said.
