Gunmen kill an NSCDC officer and abduct a businessman in Pushit community, Mangu LGA, Plateau State, with reports saying the attackers fled after the abduction. All outlets describe the incident as happening in the context of ongoing insecurity in the area, prompting residents to call for stronger protection.
Nigerian Eye provides additional detail, saying the deputy superintendent was shot near his residence while riding his motorcycle around 9:30 p.m. It also says gunmen seized a businessman who trades in fuel, cement and fertiliser, and that the killing followed the officer’s motorcycle headlight revealing the attackers while they were fleeing. The same outlet links the attack to a dusk-to-dawn curfew recently imposed after repeated violence.
The other reports largely confirm the core facts—an NSCDC officer is killed and a businessman is abducted in Pushit—but vary in depth. Legit.ng and The Punch mention curfew context or that gunmen fled, while Vanguard provides a brief restatement without additional particulars.
