But, Governor Samuel Ortom while speaking on Channels Television expressed surprise, alleging that he was seized from a convoy of repentant militants who were on their way to the Government House for a peace meeting with him.
“Gana and other repentant militants with arms and ammunition were in a convoy to Benue People’s House, having been granted amnesty by the government, but he was seized by the military.
According to the governor, “he was abducted from a government convoy in Gboko by the soldiers.”
Meanwhile, Commander of the Four Special Forces command, Doma Local Government Area, Brigadier General Maude Ali Gadzama, confirmed Gana was gunned down in a battle with operatives.
Earlier resorts also indicated that the late gang leader, Terwase Akwaza, alias Gana alongside 172 boys have surrendered in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State.
