Published on April 01, 2025 at 07:20 AM

Some gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have killed one person and abducted another person in Asa 2 area of Otukpo town of Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State.

The victim, Mr Onche Akatu, was said to have been shot at his home, while Mr. Ocheche was abducted while going home when he ran into the kidnappers,

The incident occurred at about 7:00 p.m. on Monday.

DAILY POST gathered that many residents were seeing fleeing the area to safety because of the frequent incident of violent killings and kidnappings in the area.

A source, who spoke under condition of anonymity said, “Mr Akatu Onche was gunned down by suspected kidnappers along Asa 2 area of Otukpo at about 7:00 pm on Friday.

“Unfortunately, he (Akatu) couldn’t survive the gunshots but died early morning on Tuesday.

“The kidnappers went further and abducted a man near the scene and whisked him to an unknown destination.”

Efforts to contact the spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command, CSP, Catherine Anene, proved abortive as she did not return calls to her mobile telephone as of the time of this report.
