    Suspected herdsmen hijack fully loaded vehicle, kill driver, abduct passengers in Benue

    Published on

    Suspected herdsmen gunmen attacked a commercial vehicle late Sunday night along the Otukpo-Adoka road in Benue State, killing the driver and abducting all passengers on board.

    The tragic incident took place around 11 p.m. as the vehicle was traveling from Abuja to Otukpo. According to eyewitnesses, the attackers opened fire upon spotting the vehicle, fatally striking the driver, who lost control and veered into nearby bushes. The assailants then abducted all passengers and abandoned the vehicle at the scene.

    The deceased driver, identified as a native of Adoka, has since been recovered and returned to his hometown.

    In response, military personnel have deployed to the area and initiated a manhunt to track down the attackers and rescue the abducted passengers.
