Unknown gunmen killed no fewer than ten people at Ukoosaa-Atam community in Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State on Monday.

According to locals in the area, some unidentified gunmen who rode motorcycles invaded the village and shot sporadically at people on Keke napep, motorcycles, and those in their homes.

At the end of the attack, ten corpses were recovered.

One of the locals who did not want his name mentioned said, “Some local bandits on Monday rode to Ukoosa-Atam, a kilometre after Ayati town, headquarters of Borikyo council ward, Ukum LGA.

“The gunmen came and attacked a Keke napep, killing all the passengers and the driver. The gunmen rode on motorcycles and were shooting indiscriminately, and they also attacked the surrounding houses in the village.

“This is one of several attacks on the community.

The locals, however, called on both the state and federal governments to provide security in Ukum LGA.

“Let the state and federal governments provide security because there is no single security in this area, and we also appeal to the government to assist those whose houses have been destroyed,” they said.

When contacted by the Police Public Relations Officer for the State Command, Catherine Anene said she was out of town.

Meanwhile, the State Security Adviser, Joseph Har, said that the government was aware of the situation in Ukum LGA, adding that the administration of Governor Hyacinth Alia was doing everything possible to restore peace in the troubled LG and all over the state.

Har said, “The government is working seriously to tackle the security challenges in the state, particularly in the Sankera axis (nay, Ukum LGA). We are going to use a carrot and stick approach.”

Most of the lands in Benue historically belong to the Fulani and we have to take back what is ours.

All RONU PIGs..

This is the reason why IGBOs and other BIAFRANs will happily leave your Worthless deadbeat country for you and your Fulani masters.

@Benuejosh, you claimed that these are community fracas and from this report, it's obvious it's Fualni Herdsmen that are doing this. You are a worthless FULANi PIG, that pretends to be Yoruba, so that you can downplay the deaths caused by your brothers.

All Agbado idiots that posted on the FAKE NEWS thread..should replicate their Generational foolishness on this thread also.

Atleast Benue is not IGBO land...


That country is truly a ZOO...spits

Thunder fire the idio!tic mod that deleted my comment on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/7903431/man-accuses-ipob-esn-killing#126841542



Because I was the first to comment and disputed their lies and propaganda, they rushed and deleted it.


Nairaland home for lies and propaganda.

You are killing to live,when you stay alone in the world do you think you will feel comfortable?

omekaonyeara will hide like a coward. He won't comment here. But if it is southeast, he will start m@sturbating.
