Benue Links Bus Attacked, Passengers Kidnapped In Okpokwu by NassBoy(op): 9:46pm On Jun 22, 2025
A Benue Links bus with registration number 14B-143BN this evening 22nd June 2025 was attacked, robbed, and its passengers abducted by yet-to-be-identified gunmen along the Eke axis of Okpokwu Local Government Area in Benue State.

According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred around 6:30 p.m Sunday evening. The bus, which was ferrying passengers, was waylaid by the assailants who robbed the occupants of their valuables before whisking them away into the nearby bush.

Comrade Austin Agada, who happened to be passing by the scene, quickly alerted and mobilised soldiers and policemen, who rushed to the location to initiate rescue efforts. He also contacted local youth and vigilante groups from the three villages around Eke to take up surveillance and comb the surrounding bushes in search of the kidnapped victims.

Details of the vehicle and the military personnel managing the rescue operation were also furnished to an official of Benue Links, ensuring a coordinated response to the crisis.

What is really going on in Benue State?
Who is behind this?

Could it be that our securities have been defeated? Where is the federal might when you need them?
Everyone is worrying about winning 2027 election. Nobody cares about the people.

These attacks are becoming too frequent and I'm starting to think that these are intentional acts to create fear in the land in order to discredit the government undecided

Now any sane mind can read d room n understand that this is a coordinated attack aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the country n the president.

Now any sane mind can connect the dots like Reno omokri said, how come it is only when a southerner is the president and some part of the north aren't happy that these attacks come up?


They did same with Jonathan that el rufai even told international observers they will go back in body bags.


Now the same el rufai is in d opposition n the same pattern is happening again.

For people who felt bad because their candidate lost, don't even think they won't do same for obi, it will b d easiest cos he's even a Christian n a Ibo.


If u support it cos u hate Tinubu u are only doing yourself

Tinubu rise up and perform your primary responsibility as the Commander in Chief of the Armed forces. That title is not for ceremonial purpose.

It's so unfortunate we have a donkey as a president
use your head n understand it's now a recurring event.


The north brings up insecurity by terrorising a particular state whenever a southerner is in power, y didn't all these happen during Buhari disastrous years?

Y now that a southerner is in power n northerners areñt calling d shots?

When did all parts of the south east become Sahel huh

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country




Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

Don't Play that southern Card, Tinubu was the head of opposition that sent Jonathan Packing from Aso Rock. So it is now that the North whom he was romancing before is turning back on him that you guys will come up with Southern card.

These assailants know the capability of this security agencies.

Imagine If the N39 Billions used for renovating the Abuja conference centre is channelled for buying Armour Tanks for that region alone.

But NIGERIANS army 🪖 had few armoured tanks purchased in 1977 and you can imagine while the enemies are so bold to continue their assault.

Presently, Man "O" War is better than Nigeria army.

Tinubu is just happy to be President just like Buhari but not interested in governance.

ELOFOKANBALE !!!

Willing to shed blood. Unknown to them, blood cannot be shed without consequences. They are found only where evil is being perpetrated.

Trust me, if past and present governments wants to curtail these banditry and kidnapping they can. But politics and fear of losing Fulani bloc votes and support is the main stumbling block. Unfortunately, the lives of poor Nigerians is not the priority of the government. You can see how they are at each others throats even when election is not until 2027, instead of focusing on security of the people and food stability

Which security was defeated? Security that are among the gangs. How do all those people get weapons? Most times check points are within the locality of the incident.
