A wave of grief has enveloped Ogugu community in Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State following the death of a serving councillor, Hon. Rosemary Aduku, who reportedly died after spending several days in the hands of her abductors.
The Reporters gathered that Aduku, who represented Ogugu Ward III in the 8th Olamaboro Legislative Council, was kidnapped by gunmen on October 1, 2026.
Her death was announced on Friday by the Chairman of Olamaboro Local Government Area, Dr Ameh Williams, in a statement issued on behalf of the Olamaboro Executive Council though the circumstances surrounding her death in captivity were not immediately disclosed.
The tragic incident has cast a shadow over the local government, particularly among her colleagues, family members and residents of Ogugu, who have been left mourning the loss of a public official described as humble, compassionate and dedicated to the welfare of others.
