Wanted Benue State militia leader, Terwase Akwaza, alias Gana, has been killed.
Gana was earlier reported to be surrendered to the state government, after he showed up for the amnesty program at Katsina-Ala stadium, organised to give criminals in the state another chance.
He and other repentant criminals were received by monarchs on Tuesday.
He was said to have been killed by the military, on his way to the Benue State Government House, where they are to be received by the state governor, Samuel Ortom.
His death was announced by the Benue state governor, who said the military intercepted the government convoy in which Gana and about 200 others were traveling. He was seized by the military, only to hear from the military that Gana was been killed, following a gun duel with the military at Gboko.
However, the Commander of 4 Special Forces Command, Doma Local Government Area, Brigadier General Maude Ali Gadzama, Gana, in his own account, said the militia leader was killed on Tuesday, after exchange of gun fire.
