“A devastating attack on Ayati community in Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State on Thursday has left at least 40 people dead, according to reports.
A local youth leader, who chose to remain anonymous due to security concerns, confirmed the tragic incident. The attack, carried out by unknown gunmen, has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving residents in a state of mourning and fear.
The exact circumstances and motivations behind the attack are yet to be determined, but the incident marks a disturbing escalation of violence in the region.”
“More than 40 people were killed and many were injured. Residents of the village have fled to neighboring communities for safety.
“As of yesterday, security personnel had not yet arrived at the community. It was a deadly situation.”
In a post on his Facebook page, an Ukum community leader, Mr. Abraham Waroh, lamented the attacks on Ayati.
He said:
“Over 40 were killed in Ayati yesterday evening. This is the same place where people were killed previously, which led to a protest that was later hijacked by hoodlums.
“After such incidents, one would have expected the government to ensure a strong security presence in Ayati to prevent further killings. Instead, the government was busy forming committees to look into the crisis.
“I have never witnessed such poor handling of a security issue in my entire life.”
