Gunmen have reportedly killed a farmer, Terzungwe Shaku, in Akor village of Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.
Shaku, who also owned a drinking joint at Akor market, was abducted shortly before the New Year and held hostage for over two weeks.

Locals said initially, the kidnappers demanded N20 million but the family negotiated N5.4 million, which they agreed and the family paid.
But a family source said Shaku was shot dead at the location where the ransom was dropped on Sunday.


“It is unfortunate that Terzungwe Shaku was found dead at the point where he was supposed to be released,” the source lamented.

It was however learnt that residents of Akor and nearby villages in Nzorov Council Ward of Guma LGA have begun fleeing the area for fear of further attacks.

“He (Terzungwe) was targeted last year by armed men, but this time they kidnapped him. The family negotiated the ransom, and after paying, he was killed at the same spot they were directed to drop the money,” a resident added.

The local further disclosed that the gunmen reportedly shot Shaku moments after his family left the drop-off point, stressing that upon hearing gunshots, the family rushed back to find his lifeless body.

Spokesperson for the Benue State Police Command, SP Catherine Anene, said she did not yet have any information about the incident.

Kidnapping have become a Nigeria terrifying problem as we speak instead of busy bodies like mockery and co to lend their voices against the menace and government failure to tackle it they are busy making mockery of themselves engaging in bigotry and tribal gaslighting.

See them shifting blames! Instead of us all to encourage parents to raise good kids!

No matter how tough the economy many still earn legit even if small!

Of what use are those people's voice in stopping banditry?

All those kidnappers will die a regrettable death. All the days of their miserable lives on Earth will be filled with sorrows on every seconds basis

Since they put this family on the state of sorrow, may sorrow, weeping never depart from their lives on all their days on this Earth

They will wish for death,but it won't come. They will die a slowly and painful death like no one has never experienced on this planet earth since it creation before.

And so shall it be in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit

So shall it be also in the name of prophet Mohammed S.A.W

Religious curses don't do shit. If they do, Nigeria will be one of the best places to be right now. The only thing we need is better economy and good governance and more stringent laws. Then everything will fall in place. Not praying by Middle East Jesus or Mohammed whose regions are also hot with war at the moment. They can't even save their own region from bloodshed, it's your own they will save?
