More facts emerged on Tuesday on the abduction and murder of an Assistant Chief Surveyor in the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation, Abuja, Alamu Abayomi.
Our correspondent had earlier reported that the deceased was abducted last week around the Yakwo Farm, Abaji, while he was travelling back to Abuja from a wedding function.
But in a statement on Tuesday, the Head of Press, OSGF, Abu Michael, disclosed that the late Abayomi was kidnapped alongside his mother and son.
He noted that the surveyor was killed last Thursday before the release of his mother and son on Friday.
The statement read in part, “One of Nigeria’s finest surveyors, Alamu Abayomi, an Assistant Chief Surveyor in the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation, Abuja, has been killed by some armed criminals.
“He was abducted on Monday evening, October 3, 2022, in Abaji on his way to Abuja alongside his mother and his seven-year-old son.
“On receiving the news of his abduction on Tuesday, the Surveyor General of the Federation, Abudulganiyu Adebomehin, and his management team moved into action, making possible contacts with relevant authorities for his freedom.
“The office reliably gathered that he was killed by the criminals on Thursday before the release of his mother and son on Friday through the intervention of family members, friends and other relatives.
“Security operatives are working towards recovering his remains as the office enjoins members of the public to render useful information to the police and other security agencies.”
