Friday, July 31, 2026 - An officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Maiwada Abubakar Santali, has been k!lled by suspected motorcycle snatchers in Karshi community, Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Santali, a Deputy Superintendent of the Corps (DSC), was
attached to the Department of Urban and Regional Development under the Federal
Capital Development Administration (FCDA).
Speaking with Abuja Metro on Wednesday, July 29, a cousin of
the deceased, Sani Musa, said Santali returned to his residence in Karshi from
work in Abuja on Monday, July 27, and spent time with his family before leaving
in the evening to meet friends at a popular spot, locally known as Majalisa,
near Government Secondary School (GSS), Karshi.
According to Musa, Santali was the first to arrive at the
location when he was allegedly attacked by suspected motorcycle snatchers, who
repeatedly struck him on the head before fleeing with his motorcycle.
“He was the first person to get there, as we later
discovered. The attackers hit him several times on the head and made away with
the motorcycle he rode to the place,” Musa said.
He explained that some commercial motorcyclists who were
washing their motorcycles at a nearby stream heard his cries for help and
rushed to the scene.
“They met him staggering towards them before he collapsed.
They immediately took him to the General Hospital in Karshi. Due to the
severity of his injuries, he was referred to the National Hospital, Abuja,
where he died the following day, Tuesday,” Musa added.
The deceased was buried on Tuesday, July 28, in accordance with Islamic
rites.
