Wanted Benue gang leader Terwase Akwaza alias Gana has been killed.
While the military said he was killed in a gun battle with operatives, Governor Sam Ortom alleged he was seized from a convoy of repentant militants on its way to the Government House for a peace meeting.
Commander of the Four Special Forces command, Doma local government area, Brigadier General Maude Ali Gadzama, confirmed Gana was gunned down in a battle with operatives.

They were on their way to Makurdi when they were intercepted by military officials, Ortom alleged.
