Gunmen kill Ishaq Yunusa, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman for Dekina Local Government Area in Kogi State, and abduct another person after opening fire on a vehicle. The attack happens on Thursday along the Itobe–Ochadamu Expressway near Ojuwo Olijo in Ofu Local Government Area.
Police statements and reporting say the assailants emerge from the bush and shoot indiscriminately at motorists. One report says a blue Toyota Corolla is later found abandoned on the highway, with Yunusa discovered dead inside from gunshot wounds. Another passenger in the vehicle is taken away into the forest.
Across the outlets, the core elements are consistent: Yunusa is killed, the incident occurs on the Itobe–Ochadamu corridor near Ojuwo Olijo, and a second occupant is abducted. The outlets differ slightly in the details emphasized, including whether the event is described as occurring in the evening and the specific timing, and one account adds police actions such as area combing for the kidnapped person, possible autopsy arrangements, and orders for intensified patrols.
