A horrifying tragedy has struck the quiet village of Kurmin Kare in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, where a police inspector, Donfa Chirtip, was brutally murdered and his wife abducted in a suspected ambush.
According to security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, who disclosed the incident via his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday, Inspector Chirtip was attached to the Special Protection Unit (SPU) Base 7 in Abuja. He and his wife, Victoria, were returning from their farmland on Friday morning when the attack occurred.
“The deceased, identified as Inspector Donfa Chirtip of the Special Protection Unit Base 7, Abuja, was discovered lifeless on Friday evening with a deep cut on his neck in a farmland within the village,” Makama revealed. “Preliminary investigation suggests the inspector and his wife left for the farm early Friday morning around 7:00 a.m. on a motorcycle and were ambushed on their way back later in the day.”
The body of the officer was recovered by a joint patrol team and was later deposited at the Doka General Hospital morgue after being confirmed dead by a medical officer.
As of the time of this report, Victoria Chirtip remains missing. The identities and motives of the attackers are yet to be determined, though authorities suspect a targeted assault.
The Kaduna State Police Command has yet to release an official statement. Calls and messages to the state’s spokesperson, Mansir Hassan, went unanswered.
This grim event adds to the rising insecurity in the region, as families and communities continue to live in fear amid a wave of violent crimes and kidnappings targeting civilians and security personnel alike.
