No fewer than 15 traders have been killed by armed men suspected to be herders in Ogwumogbo and Okpo’okpolo communities in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State.

A local in a telephone conversation told our correspondent that the victims were returning from Oweto market in Agatu when suspected herdsmen suddenly came out from a nearby bush and opened fire on them killing 15 on the spot.

A former Vice Chairman of Agatu LG, John Ikwulono who confirmed the attack  in a telephone interview with our correspondent said the suspected herders ambushed the traders on Saturday evening when they were returning from Oweto Market after sales

According to him,  the herders after killing the traders took their monies and belongings and fled into the surrounding bushes.

“As I speak to you, some persons are still missing while those who sustained gunshots injuries were taken to an undisclosed hospital in the area for treatment

He said, “Five out of the 15 people were killed between Ogbayi and Ogwumogbo, where there’s a small stream called Abekoko.

Our correspondent gathered that the victims were buried today Sunday 18 May 2025

Efforts to speak with the Council Chairman, Melvin James, proves abortive however it was learnt he  attended the burial of the slain traders.

When contacted the State Police Public Relations Officer, Catherine Anene, said she was yet to receive the reports
