Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - The Principal Special Assistant to Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia on Youth and Media Mobilisation, Atu Terver, popularly known as Krayzeetee, has reportedly been abducted by unidentified gunmen.
The news of the incident
broke late Tuesday after his wife raised the alarm in an emotional social media
post.
According to her, she received a distress call from her
husband in a terrified tone.
“He
said: ‘I have been abducted, call mummy.’ After that, I couldn’t reach his
phone again,” Daily Post quoted the wife stating.
Efforts to reach Terver’s phone following the call proved
unsuccessful, heightening fears about his safety.
Authorities have yet to officially confirm the abduction or
provide information about possible rescue operations as of the time of filing
this report.
Terver, who serves as Principal Special Assistant on Youth
and Media Mobilisation, recently made headlines after sacking one of his aides
who participated in a protest against killings in Benue State.
His abduction adds to the growing list of security concerns
in the state, which has faced repeated attacks and violent incidents in recent
months.
Meanwhile, former presidential candidate of the Labour
Party, Peter Obi, has decried the worsening
insecurity across the country, warning that abductions and
killings have become an everyday occurrence for Nigerians.
Naija News reports
that Obi, in a statement via his official 𝕏 on Tuesday, was reacting
to the abduction of 44 worshippers from a mosque in Zamfara State.
The former Governor of Anambra State noted that the incident
happened barely days after reports of a peace deal in neighboring Katsina
State.
“While news headlines are still celebrating a purported
peace deal in Katsina, we were again confronted with another unfortunate
reality that 55 of our fellow citizens were abducted in neighbouring Zamfara
State,” Obi said.
He lamented that behind the statistics of those killed or
abducted were human lives and broken families.
“Behind every number are families torn apart, dreams cut
short, and futures stolen. A nation cannot grow or prosper when its citizens
live in perpetual fear. It is now as though the lives of Nigerians do not
matter,” he said.
He questioned the government’s response to the wave of
abductions and killings.
