The father of a distressed Nasarawa State University postgraduate student, 33, who was brutally murdered in Lafia, is traumatized by his only son’s loss.
Last Saturday, gunmen attacked the Nasarawa Housing Estate on the Makurdi-Jos Road in Lafia, killing Emmanuel Daudu Akuki.
Mr Agyo Ismaila-Ewa, the Director of Finance and Account in the Nasarawa State Ministry of Youths and Sports Development, was said to be the deceased’s brother-in-law.
While fighting back tears, the deceased’s father, Mr Dauda Akuki-Ovedoh, said he learned from residents of the estate that his son had received a “weird call." adding that he was talking to the caller when he was attacked.

“I can’t imagine how my only son was stabbed and strangled to death by assailants on an estate where there are security operatives. My son’s death has put me in trauma,” he added.
Meanwhile, the remains of the Forensic Psychology student was laid to rest on Thursday morning, October 28.
According to as resident in the area who spoke to Punch, the assailants gained access into the estate through the main gate.
The boy, who did not live on the estate, was instructed to go to his elder sister’s house to perform some chores, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
“We heard that his elder sister, who travelled to Abuja, called him to go to her flat and help her start the generator so that the items in the freezer would be preserved, as there was no electricity," the source said.
“So, after starting the generator, he left it for about three hours and noticed that the items in the freezer were already frozen. Then, he decided to go out and put off the generator so he could go to bed. That was when he was attacked by the assailants, who stabbed him in the neck before strangling him." the source added.
