Dr. Stephen Angbas, a physician in Nasarawa State and the owner of the Lafia-Angbas Clinic, was slain by some as-yet-unidentified attackers.
Witnesses told our correspondent that the attackers, who appeared to be armed thieves, attacked the doctor and the motorcycle who was taking the deceased physician to the farm with a machete in a cruel and severe manner.
The motorcycle rider, Mikailu Dahiru, was taken to a neighboring hospital and is still undergoing emergency treatment for the serious wounds he got in the incident. Tragically, Angbas apparently passed away from his injuries.
The local government council’s Audu Lawal official expressed grave concern about the situation and mentioned that the council chairman had alerted security officials for prompt action.
“Today, on the 17th of October 2023, at approximately 4:00 pm, mobile police operatives received distressing information regarding a fatal assault along the Jangargari-Awe Road,” stated DSP Rahman Nansel, the state’s police spokeswoman, in response to the report.
