An Assistant Director attached to the State House, Abuja, Laetitia Dagan, has been killed in her apartment in Galadimawa, Abuja, shortly after she returned from work on Monday.
The 47-year-old Plateau State indigene was said to have left her office in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, around 8 pm while the incident happened around 11 pm.
She was said to be a participant in ongoing training for civil servants holding at the Manhattan Event Centre, Uke, Nasarawa State.
“The murderers were so cruel. They tied her and set her with her mattress on fire.
“She was just promoted to the position of assistant director last year. She was always full of smile,” one of her colleagues said.
It was said that while investigating the case, the police discovered an item suspected to have been mistakenly left behind by one of the killers and the police are working on it.
Meanwhile, friends and family members of the deceased have taken to the social media to mourn her.
One of them, Comfort Sajoh Gaiya, posted what appeared to be the deceased’s last photograph said to have been taken at about 4 pm on Monday, a few hours before she was killed.
“This photo was taken yesterday (Monday) at about 4 pm at the Manhattan Event Centre, Uke, Nasarawa State. She was full of life, as you can see. She was Dagan Laetitia Naankang, Assistant Director (TSW) State House. She was murdered by unknown gunmen in her residence last night,” Gaiya wrote on Facebook.
