A woman and her young son have been killed by gunmen in Nagu village, Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State, IgbereTV reports.

The armed men killed the woman, her son and her brother-in-law after razing part of Nagu village in the early hours of Sunday, December 27.

The attacks also left several persons injured while many have reportedly fled their homes to neighbouring villages for fear of being killed.

Confirming the incident, a former lawmaker that represented Katina-Ala East constituency in the Benue State House of Assembly, Mr Ianna Jato, said those killed in the attack were memebers of his family.

"The armed men came around 3 am, yesterday, and attacked Nagu, which is my village. They burnt part of the village after which they killed my brother’s wife, her son and another of my brother," he said.

“I cannot understand why they did this, but those behind the attack just called me a few minutes ago with the phone of my brother’s wife, which they took away after killing the woman.

"They said I should tell the military personnel who are in Shetile land to leave our place otherwise they would continue to cause mayhem and also continue with the killings in our communities. I have reported the matter to the Divisional Police Officer in Katsina-Ala and he is making arrangements to evacuate the corpses.” he added.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Catherine Anene, confirmed the incident.

Things like this rarely happen in countries like Zambia, Ivory coast even Ghana but this Nigeria seem to be on a daily base.

This country is under a curse and na them dey pray pass but Wicked hearts all over, both lynching, burning petty thieves to death then the leaders in crime like banditory, terrorism, kidnapping, armed robbery, ritual mention them e.t.c

Benue is becoming something else when it comes to killing these days

So sad

Okay

Chaii... That's bad.
Our government should find something to do to situations be like this

The government has failed to secure the live of its citizens

It has never been this bad in Nigeria before.





All thanks to Buhari, he has done really well

For political reasons, they chose to align with the North even though such arrangements have brought them only pain and sorrows. I don’t understand some people sometimes.

Very sad what Nigeria has turned into.

As it is, do not think you're safe where you holed up at.

Anything can fvcking happen.
