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 t 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 has 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.

It's so bad. There is no manners of identification Nigerians don't have littered everywhere you do something official. Yet, incidents like these go unabated after budgeting this billions and that billions for one enrollment or the other.

It's a pity.

The Image of Nigeria Outside the Country is Horrible because of the trending uncountable atrocities. Killings and Kidnapping everywhere in the Country. I told a Friend that Subsidy on Petroleum which affects every Nigerian Citizen irrespective of Location is not a Crime. Every Capable Nations of the World Subsidized some major stuff for their Citizens.

Benue Benue Benue.

The federal and state govts must declare a full scale war on these kidnappers. When caught, instant death must be the way out. No court trials whatsoever because kidnapping is now the most lucrative job in Nigeria.
From all indication, the captors of the man were paid to do the job. He would have had a fallout with someone cos this is a premeditated murder

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

If government fails to do something about this kidnapping rampage going on, it'll becomes the "Yahoo menace" of tomorrow.

We are far behind when it comes to security in this country ...we need to learn from the western world how they keep civilian safe....money should be invested and human empowerment, government gives no damn ....God be with us.....

The worst thing about Nigeria is that they will go scott free as government is not proactive.

Nigeria happened to him. Why people consider japa even with their high paying job/business without looking back.

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?

I didn't say God is powerless. I just said that this god you mentioned are dead and rotten or probably in the hell of his god Allah.
