THE Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State, Sylvanus Namang, and another individual were killed by attackers yesterday.
The incident took place at a relaxation centre in Pankshin, in the Pankshin Local Government Area of the state.
Gunmen entered the centre and shot Namang at close range, killing him instantly. The other person was abducted and later found dead along a road in the area.
The Chairman of the APC in Plateau State, Rufus Bature, confirmed Namang’s death and expressed sadness over the tragic event.
The motive behind the attack on the party’s publicity secretary, who was socializing with friends, remains unknown.
