Atu Terver, Principal Special Assistant to the Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, on Youth and Media Mobilisation, has been reported to have been abducted by gunmen.
The incident was made known to the general public on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, through social media after his wife raised the alarm.
According to her, she received a distress call from her husband in a frightened tone, saying: “I have been abducted, call mummy.”
Attempts to reach his phone afterwards were unsuccessful.
Terver recently made headlines for sacking one of his own aides who participated in a protest against killings in Benue.
Authorities are yet to officially confirm the abduction or provide details on rescue efforts.
