Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen on Sunday night hijacked a commercial vehicle along the Otukpo-Adoka road in Benue State, killing the driver and abducting all engers on board, News360 Nigeria reports.

The incident occurred around 11 p.m. as the vehicle was en route to Otukpo from Abuja.

Eyewitnesses told News360 Nigeria that the attackers opened fire as soon as they sighted the vehicle, causing the driver to lose control and veer off the road into nearby bushes after being hit by a bullet.

The assailants subsequently abducted all the engers before abandoning the vehicle at the scene.

The body of the slain driver, identified as a native of Adoka, has been recovered and taken to his hometown.

Meanwhile, military personnel have arrived at the scene and launched a manhunt for the attackers.

The governor should be vigilant to know when PO is coming to Benue. That is primary assignment, never security.

Nawa o

Why are Nigeria tribes so calm with these fulani bandits?

The funny thing is if a group start treating their Bleep up, some fellow southerners (yorubas) will be the first people to defend same fulani online and call the people intorelant, wicked.

The only way to stop these fulani bandits is never to welcome them in your forest. Don't ever give them land, you can be called wicked, trabalist that's all.

No matter how peaceful you're currently living with them, with time they will show you their true color.

Benue people are their own enermy. What has their politicians done so far to stop the killings?

Tinubu and his ers will not see this now, but they can know when Peter Obi is gong to toilet and when Natasha actually changed her pant or when Fubara should be impeached....

May the soul of the driver rest in peace and may the kidnapped be released safely and timely

Animals from the dot in a circle region, from where they have nowhere to go, as they wait for Buhari and his successor to speak to them in a language they understand

Highways:
Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


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

https://twitter.com/i/status/1150428613751320577


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.

No single soul was killed in Rivers State before their governor was illegally removed. It's unfortunate that Benue State has no crude oil. That's why Tinubu hasn't declared state of emergency in the state.
