Confirming the incident via a statement issued on Sunday, February 18, 2024, the Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, Alfred Alabo, said Namang was killed by gunmen at a relaxation spot in the Pankshin area of the state.
Alabo noted: “On Saturday, at about 8 p.m., we received information that some gunmen suspected to be kidnappers, numbering about seven, invaded a relaxation centre located along Pankshin-Jos Road, and kidnapped the owner.
“In the process, a customer, one Sylvanus Namang, was shot dead by the invaders.

“On receipt of the information, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Hassan Yabanet, directed the Area Commander and the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Pankshin to arrest the suspects and rescue the victim.
“Our men engaged the hoodlums in a gun battle and were able to foil the kidnap attempt. The suspects escaped with gunshot wounds while the victim was rescued and rushed to the General Hospital, Pankshin for treatment as the bandits had injured him.”
The police spokesperson said the Plateau APC spokesman was later confirmed dead at the hospital.
He quoted the police commissioner as condoling the family of the deceased while assuring the residents of Plateau State of the command’s readiness to secure their lives and property at all times.
