The Benue State Police Command has nabbed a soldier in connection with the m*rder of a young man at the Dangote Cement Plant in Gboko.
Area Commander Edmund Afraimu confirmed the arrest of the soldier, identified as Aboy Bonny. 
According to eyewitnesses, the victim was shot d£ad through the back screen of his car on Monday morning, September 9, while driving to work.
“The soldier opened fire, causing the car to veer off the road into a nearby farm. The young man slumped out of the driver’s seat and fell dead on the spot,” an eyewitness told newsmen.
Angered by the extrajudicial k!lling, some youths from the area carried the corpse on a Bajaj motorcycle between two young men and went in protest to the factory.
The irate crowd smashed the windscreen of some vehicles parked around the entrance of the company in protest.
The body of the deceased was laid at the entrance to the administrative block.
It took the intervention of the Chairman of Gboko Local Government Council, Verlumun Var, and the community leaders to calm the situation.
