said:
The Chairman of Daar Communications, High Chief Raymond

Saturday. The
“The Managing Director
of Africa Independent Television, Dr Mrs Oluwatosin Dokpesi who had arrived
from Lagos complained of serious stomach cramps and was rushed to the Child
Care and Awareness hospital in Wuse 2.
“She was accompanied
by her cousin Ms Abolore Sode and an aide, Ms Aisha Adamu. They were escorted
by the deceased sergeant. They were trailed by the Honda Accord and as soon as
Mrs Dokpesi alighted from the car and entered the hospital, the assailants
attacked them.
“They were asking the
driver and sergeant about Mrs Dokpesi’s whereabouts. They collected the handset
of the driver and shot the sergeant thrice and made away with the AK47 of the
sergeant. They did not go with the Prado vehicle No APP 577DK nor did they
collect any items.
“The driver said that
the assailants said in Hausa that, “He is not there. Bastard! We will still get
him.'”
“They shot thrice at
the sergeant and sped off. He died on the spot.”
