After attending a church service at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Otukpo, where Senator Abba Moro, who represents the Benue South Senatorial District, dedicated his newly inaugurated campaign council to God, the commissioner was reportedly headed to his village in NDEKMA, Utonkon District of Ado LGA when the unfortunate incident occurred at around 8:45 p.m. on Sunday, December 4, 2022.

Since then, his work vehicle has been located at the spot and sent to the Divisional Police station in Otukpo.
