Aondoakaa Yaiyol, the Commander of the Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Services in Tarka Local Government Area of Benue State, was fatally shot by unidentified assailants.
The killing occurred on Friday night.
Yaiyol had previously served as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Tarka LGA.
Reports indicate that his wife was murdered under similar circumstances last year, during which their residence was also set ablaze.
The tragic development was confirmed in a phone conversation on Saturday by Tim Nyior, the PDP’s Publicity Secretary in the state.
Nyior stated, “It’s true that the man was once PDP chairman in Tarka LGA before his current position as Commander of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Services in Tarka. Unfortunately, his wife was killed just last year.”
The Special Adviser on Security and Internal Affairs to Governor Hyacinth Alia, Chief Joseph Har, also confirmed the killing on Saturday, labeling the act as a clear case of “assassination.”
Har said, “It was an assassination of Commander of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Services, NHFSS, Aondoakaa Yaiyol
“They came on a bike and shot him at close quarters and fled.
“After they shot the guy, they fired sporadically to scare others and then fled on a bike and they were shielded by two cars also firing sporadically to scare away people.
“Sketchy investigation shows that a criminal that attacked and killed the deceased’s wife and burnt the house was sent to prison. On his return both of them were chasing each other until this happened.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Udeme Edet confirmed the report and said that police were on the trail of the suspect.
