Mr. Aghanya, who retired as a DIG, was a former Commissioner of Police in Benue.

The police had on Saturday confirmed the gruesome killing of the retired DIG’s wife in her Makurdi residence by unknown gunmen.

The CP was quoted in the statement as saying that serious efforts would be made to apprehend the culprits.

The spokesperson said her body had been deposited at Bishop Murray Hospital Morgue, Makurdi.
