The wave of banditry appears to have heightened across the country as the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasarawa chapter and former Commissioner, Mr Philip Schekwo, has been killed after he was kidnapped last night.

The lifeless body of Schekwo, who hailed from Toto council area of Nasarawa State, was found a few meters from his house on Sunday morning.
