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.
