Gunmen Abduct Benue Governor Alia’s Media Aide

The Principal Special Assistant to Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia on Youth and Media Mobilisation, Atu Terver, also known as Krayzeetee, has reportedly been abducted by some yet-to-be-identified gunmen.

The news of the incident broke late Tuesday after his wife raised the alarm in an emotional social media post.

According to her, she received a distress call from her husband in a terrified tone.

“He said: ‘I have been abducted, call mummy.’ After that, I couldn’t reach his phone again,” Daily Post quoted the wife stating.

Efforts to reach Terver’s phone following the call proved unsuccessful, heightening fears about his safety.

Authorities have yet to officially confirm the abduction or provide information about possible rescue operations as of the time of filing this report.

Terver, who serves as Principal Special Assistant on Youth and Media Mobilisation, recently made headlines after sacking one of his aides who participated in a protest against killings in Benue State.

His abduction adds to the growing list of security concerns in the state, which has faced repeated attacks and violent incidents in recent months.
