Gunmen suspected to be armed robbers have killed Auta Nasela, a teacher at Government Science Secondary School, Nasarawa Eggon LGA of Nasarawa State.

Daily Trust gathered that the incident happened on Saturday at about  8:45pm.

Confirming the incident on Sunday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Nasarawa State command, DSP  Ramhan Nansel, said it was a case of armed robbery. 

“Yesterday around 8:45pm, a distress call was received from GSS Nasarawa Eggon, that some unidentified hoodlums invaded the residence of one Auta Nasela.”

“When they gained entrance, they started demanding for money but the man escaped to his neighbour’s house.

“But unfortunately, one of the hoodlums followed him and shot him. He was rushed to the General Hospital in Nasarawa Eggon by the police but he later died while receiving treatment,” he said.

He said, “Based on available information, only the late Mr Auta was attacked and killed, not two teachers as members of the public have been saying.”

According to him, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Adesina Soyemi, had directed that a thorough investigation be conducted on the matter with a view to arresting the perpetrators.
