 POLICE INSPECTOR KILLED NEAR MAKURDI IDP CAMP, FLEE WITH SERVICE RIFLE 


A police inspector, identified as Otor Ejiga, has been shot dead by unidentified gunmen near a mega internally displaced persons (IDP) camp along Gbajimba Road in Makurdi.

The incident occurred on Thursday evening, March 20, 2026, raising fresh concerns about security around IDP settlements in the state.


Sources said the officer was attached to the camp but was reportedly manning an unauthorised solitary checkpoint when he was attacked.


Eyewitness accounts indicate that the assailants opened fire on the inspector at close range before fleeing with his Type 06 rifle.


A patrol team later arrived at the scene, recovered his remains, and transported them to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital mortuary for autopsy.


Security agencies have since launched a manhunt to track down the attackers and recover the stolen weapon.

Meanwhile, authorities have commenced a full-scale investigation into the incident. The officer in charge of the checkpoint is reportedly being queried over possible supervisory lapses.


The killing has heightened anxiety among residents, with calls for stricter regulation of informal checkpoints and improved protection for personnel deployed around IDP camps.


No group has claimed responsibility for the attack at the time of this report, and police authorities are yet to issue an official statement.
