Three persons have been confirmed dead while another sustained injuries following coordinated attacks by suspected bandits across Buruku, Okokolo and Naka Local Government Areas of Benue State on Thursday.

In one of the incidents, Mbakura Mbagen community in Buruku LGA was invaded in the early hours of the morning.

Reports indicate that about five armed men stormed the village around 3:30 a.m., killing two members of the state’s Civil Protection Guards, identified as John Kunde and Sughter Orbunde.

During the raid, the attackers also kidnapped Aondowase Ager and carted away a Bajaj motorcycle owned by one of the victims.

The remains of the slain guards were later deposited at the mortuary in Ugbema, as security efforts intensified to rescue the abducted victim.

Also on Thursday morning, Ejima community in Okokolo LGA came under attack at about 6:00 a.m. when suspected armed herders opened fire indiscriminately.

The shooting left one resident, Daniel Matthew, with gunshot wounds. Security operatives were subsequently deployed to the area and surrounding locations to track down the assailants and avert further violence.

A third attack was recorded later in the day at Ammuneke village in Naka LGA. Two young men, Akula Gugun, 27, and Odi Shimayoho, 28, were killed during the assault.

Their bodies were evacuated to the Agagbe morgue, while security agencies launched searches in nearby bushes in pursuit of those responsible.

Meanwhile, a resident of Usen village in Buruku LGA, identified as Benjamin Terver Awuna, has been taken into custody over alleged collaboration with armed herders.

Preliminary findings suggest that the suspect received airtime valued at N6,000, which he allegedly used as compensation for supplying information to aid attacks on local communities. Investigations into the matter are ongoing.

Screwdriver seller is taking note... Trump will be informed soon.

Tinubu is a disaster. That's all you need to know.

End time is here

Trump we need more

SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE DOING THIS TO DARE TRUMP.......THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN.

I like these bandits. Even as the government and Co conspirators are trying to deny their heinous acts, They won't just allow the government lie their lie in peace.
Before the spokes person finish saying Nigeria is now safe and secured they'll slaughter 1 or 2 maybe to celebrate the lies

Nigeria without or minimal corruption can solve this.

This is a problem no any powerful human being can solve without solving the root cause.

Ño worries.........Alex Chukwujekwu Oluwashogo Barbir is currently in Naija and taking Note.

The killings continue a d the government keep paying dead ears

And they are decamping to APC, leaving people at the mercy of killers.

Its now a tradition in that part of the country. a daily occurrence


welcome to Nigeria, where everything is all about politics

Terrible!
Very Terrible!!
I hope the kidnapped get rescued promptly.
But there is no LGA in Benue called Okokolo.
I think Okokolo is a community in Agatu LGA.

Three persons have been confirmed dead while another sustained injuries following coordinated attacks by suspected bandits across Buruku, Okokolo and Naka Local Government Areas of Benue State on Thursday.

Also on Thursday morning, Ejima community in Okokolo LGA came under attack at about 6:00 a.m. when suspected armed herders opened fire indiscriminately.

Buhari was nurturing this people all this while and they have grown into monsters.

No value for life anymore in some parts of this country,

All hope is lost in your head right?

Gov Alia will tell you there's no such thing.

I won't cry more than the bereaved.

When Trump says that Nija suppose break, terrorist sympathisers get upset.

Like play like play, government still they treat this terrorist with kids finger.

Yet the priority of the C-in-C is which guvnor defects to APC.

So these people are still referred to as "bandits" in this 2026?

And some people are saying Trump should not intervene. Maybe you expect everyone to die before something will be done.

See blow faya 🔥 inside tilumbu's nyasch ooo

Remember your village is 90% gone. All these your RoNu alakuba followership can not end with YOU a Yoruba CHRISTIAN having his own God given LAND & HOMETOWN/VILLAGE overrun, overtaken and occupied by your Fulani cousins oo

I'm shouting it now for you to sit up and speak out I still feel pity for you even though you said MNK was crazy for warning ⚠️ you almost 5 years in advance

Sometimes,I feel like not sympathizing with them anymore.This is because their governor will harden his mind like witch to say no such killings is taking place in Benue.That is a communal clash.
But because it's innocent people that are dying that's why I can't stop sympathizing with them.

Rest in peace to the dead
your president is only interested in having all the governors and corrupt politicians in his party


what concerns Tinubu about security and good leadership..
