Barrister Chris Agidy, Senior Legislative Aide to Senator Ned Nwoko representing Delta North, who was abducted by bandits in 2023, has been confirmed dead by the Federal Capital Territory Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh. Agidy was among the 19 individuals kidnapped from their homes in the Galadimawa area of Abuja in November 2023.
