Former Provost Marshal of the Nigerian Army, Major General Hassan Ahmed, has been murdered in Abuja, reports Glamtush.
He was assassinated Thursday night in the Abaji area of the nation’s capital. The assailants also kidnapped his sister, Safina Ahmed.
A source close to the family told Daily Post that the siblings were coming from Okene when they were attacked.
“They opened fire on his vehicle, he died. The driver pretended to be dead from the wound he sustained, so they took the sister away,” the informant said.
It was gathered that General Ahmed didn’t move with an escort.
The deceased was chauffeured by his driver, Sergeant Bukar in a Toyota Hilux with a private plate number.
The body of Ahmed has been conveyed to the Nigerian Army Officers Wives Association (NAOWA) Hospital in Abuja.
The Chief of Army Staff, Farouk Yahaya recently appointed him as a Director at the Army Headquarters in Abuja.
