Reports indicate that three Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were tragically killed while fishing in the Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State.
Ibaah Terna Jacob, the chairman of the Agagbe IDP camp in Gwer West LGA, disclosed that these individuals had gone fishing on Monday but were confronted by armed intruders who mercilessly shot them.
The victims were identified as Igbahemba Abua, Iorhemba Cletus, and Akaa Clifford. Jacob recounted that they had gone fishing in the Gbange/Tongov council ward of Gwer West and failed to return by nightfall.
In their quest to locate the missing individuals, an eyewitness revealed that they had been pursued by armed assailants who opened fire on them. Tragically, by Tuesday morning, the lifeless bodies of the trio were discovered following an extensive search, and they were promptly laid to rest.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Catherine Anene, stated that she had not yet received the report.
